Istanbul Airport is a long way from the old city, so the first thing you’ll want is a map and a ride. With an eSIM already installed, you’re online before you reach baggage claim — book the airport transfer, find your way around Sultanahmet, and message home without hunting for a SIM kiosk or burning roaming credit. Coverage is excellent across the city. The same plan also covers 30+ more countries in Asia, so one purchase carries you onward. Data-only: keep your home number for calls and let the eSIM handle data.
