TIPInstall before you fly. Your plan only starts when it first connects at your destination.

No signal or no internet when I land

Roaming switch, mobile data line, a restart, Airplane Mode. In that order, it fixes most cases.

You've landed, everyone else is posting selfies, and you've got nothing. Run through this list in order.

  1. Is the kimsim line on? Settings → Mobile Service (Android: SIMs) → kimsim → turned on.
  2. Is Data Roaming on for the kimsim line? This is the big one. How.
  3. Is kimsim your mobile data line? How.
  4. Restart the phone. Fully off, 10 seconds, back on.
  5. Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then off. That makes the phone search for networks again.
  6. Give it a few minutes. The very first connection can take a little while, especially just after landing.
  7. Set the APN if data still doesn't start. How.

Bars but no internet?

That's nearly always the APN or the mobile data line. See steps 3 and 7.

Still nothing?

Don't delete the eSIM. Talk to a human and include your order number. We'll check the eSIM with the network. If we can't get it working, you get a full refund (activation guarantee).
