Yes, Truly Roaming makes activation significantly easier. Local SIM purchases at Jeddah or Madinah airports involve navigating queues and a mandatory biometric registration process, including fingerprints and passport scanning. Our eSIM is entirely digital; you activate it from your phone, avoiding lines and personal ID registration. This means you’re connected for video calls and uploads the moment you land, without the common airport-arrival delays.
