Is passport registration necessary to activate this DataESIM?

No, passport registration is entirely unnecessary for DataESIM activation. This represents a significant advantage over acquiring a local physical SIM card in Conakry, which typically involves a laborious, bureaucratic process requiring passport submission, photographic identification, and considerable time spent at a service center. DataESIM operates as a roaming service, completely circumventing these local administrative hurdles and enabling immediate, hassle-free connectivity.
