Absolutely, you can! We actually recommend setting up your SouthESIM before you even leave home. Just scan the QR code we send you and follow the simple installation steps. Your plan's validity period only starts ticking once your SouthESIM connects to a local network in your destination, like when you land in Lima, Bangkok, or Johannesburg. This means you'll have instant data the moment you arrive, ready to navigate, find your hostel, or message loved ones without hunting for Wi-Fi.
