No immediate access but worked eventually
I liked that I immediately had access to send Whatsapp message/video calls to let my family know I was safe. What I did not like is that it took 2 days before the downloaded connection suddenly 'automatically' worked properly despite the Esim being active. I had no access to Google email updates or Google news during that time. These were less important to me, but it was slightly fustrating. All the steps to download Airalo was correct.
