Yes, 100%. Buying a physical SIM card at Kigali Airport requires you to find the MTN/Airtel kiosk, wait in line (often after a late-night flight), and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
