Yes, you absolutely can and should! We advise installing your Truly Roaming eSIM while you still have reliable Wi-Fi, perhaps at home or during your layover. The data plan only initiates once it detects a connection to a local network in France, ensuring you're online the moment you land. This setup lets you skip the scramble for airport Wi-Fi and immediately access maps or message clients, crucial for those day-one video calls or urgent uploads.
