Yes, 100%. Buying a physical "Manx Telecom" or "Sure" SIM card at Ronaldsway Airport (IOM) or the Sea Terminal in Douglas requires you to find the kiosk, wait in line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you even board the ferry or plane.
