We strongly advise activating your WestESIM before you depart for France. Installing the eSIM, which involves scanning a QR code, is best done in an environment with stable Wi-Fi, such as your home or office. While Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport offers Wi-Fi, it can be inconsistent or require registration. By installing beforehand, your WestESIM will instantly connect to a premium local network like Orange or SFR the moment you land, ensuring immediate and seamless internet access for navigation, communication, and work.
