Yes, 100%. Buying a physical local SIM card (like Djezzy or Ooredoo) at Algiers Airport requires you to find the kiosk, wait in line (often after a long 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.
