Absolutely. We highly recommend installing your WestESIM for France before you depart. The activation process, which involves scanning a QR code, can be completed conveniently at home or during your journey. Your data plan's validity period only commences when your device successfully connects to one of our premium local networks, such as Orange or SFR, upon your arrival in France. This ensures you have immediate, reliable internet access the moment you land, whether at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or any other entry point.
