A little assistance needed. Looking into a Esim data plan and looks like BNE ESIM is recommended. Is it best to setup before use and activate on destination. If so is this easy to do?

Thanks

I found it easy, set up at home and switched over when I got there (Turkey)
Worked seamlessly..

Do I need to do anything with my primary sim, leave it as it is and just turn on eSIM via the phones settings?

On an iPhone you can choose what to use the new eSIM for - data, primary number etc. Not sure what phone you have, but you should be able to set what functions the new eSIM has. Important you do this of course.

I have a iPhone and the eSIM will be just for data, whatsapp (calls/messaging) emails, web surf, maps etc.

I just made sure roaming was set to off. and turned the eSIM on on arrival.
It was less than £5 so well worth giving it a go.

Seems simple enough, thank you.
