Either your phone can&#8217;t open a data session (an APN problem). Or it has a session but can&#8217;t look up website names (a DNS problem). A quick test tells you which one. Type 1.1.1.1 into your browser. If that page loads but google.com doesn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s DNS. If nothing loads at all, start with the APN.<\/p>\n\n\n    <nav id=\"dynamic-toc\" class=\"dynamic-toc\" aria-label=\"Table of Contents\">\n        <strong>Table of Contents<\/strong>\n        <ol id=\"toc-list\"><\/ol>\n    <\/nav>\n    \n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-signal-bars-and-internet-are-not-the-same-thing\">Signal bars and internet are not the same thing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most guides stop at &#8220;turn on data roaming.&#8221; That fixes a lot of cases. But it doesn&#8217;t explain why a phone can show full bars and still load nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your connection works in layers. Each layer can fail on its own, and each one fails in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Layer<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it does<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What you see when it breaks<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.

Everything in this guide is about layers 2 to 4. If you&#8217;re stuck at layer 1, check our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-activate-esim\/\">how long eSIM activation takes<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-60-second-test-that-tells-you-which-layer-is-broken\">The 60-second test that tells you which layer is broken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I built this triage after seeing the same support pattern again and again. Travellers change five settings at once. Then they can&#8217;t tell which one mattered. Do these three checks first, in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check 1: Is any data moving?<\/strong> Open your phone&#8217;s mobile data usage screen and find the eSIM line. Note the number, open any app, and look again. If it never moves, the data session isn&#8217;t open. That points to the APN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check 2: Does a messaging app work?<\/strong> Send a WhatsApp or iMessage text. Messaging apps hold connections open and can survive shaky name lookups longer. If messages send but websites fail, suspect DNS. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/how-to-use-whatsapp-data-only-esim\/\">WhatsApp on a data-only eSIM<\/a> covers the app side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check 3: The 1.1.1.1 test.<\/strong> Type 1.1.1.1 into your browser&#8217;s address bar. This is a public resolver page reached by its number, so no name lookup is needed. Then try google.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>What happens<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Broken layer<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Go to<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Nothing loads, data counter stuck<\/td><td>Data session<\/td><td>APN fixes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1.1.1.1 loads, google.com doesn&#8217;t<\/td><td>Name lookup<\/td><td>DNS fixes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Both load in one browser, fail in another app<\/td><td>Filter or VPN<\/td><td>Privacy filter fixes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Everything fails on the eSIM, works on Wi-Fi<\/td><td>Filter or APN<\/td><td>Filters first, then APN<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-the-basics-first-30-seconds\">Do the basics first (30 seconds)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before touching the APN, rule out the three usual suspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Data roaming is on for the eSIM line.<\/strong> A travel eSIM runs on a partner network, so your phone treats it as roaming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The eSIM is your mobile data line.<\/strong> On dual-SIM phones, data often stays on your home SIM. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/dual-esim-vs-esim-physical-sim\/\">dual eSIM vs physical SIM guide<\/a> explains how the lines split.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ve toggled Airplane Mode.<\/strong> Leave it on for 15 seconds. This forces a fresh network registration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Still nothing? Now the useful part starts. If your home SIM is also active, read up on <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/avoid-home-carrier-roaming-charges-travel-esim\/\">avoiding home carrier roaming charges<\/a> before you test further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-apn-fields-most-guides-skip\">The APN fields most guides skip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The APN (Access Point Name) tells your phone which gateway to use for data. Most guides say &#8220;enter the APN from your provider.&#8221; That&#8217;s true, but a correct APN name can still fail. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BazTel customers: where to find your APN.<\/strong> Log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/login\">BazTel dashboard<\/a> and go to <strong>Manage eSIMs<\/strong>. Click <strong>Install eSIM<\/strong>, then review the <strong>Manual installation<\/strong> section. It shows the APN Name and the APN to use for your plan. Enter both exactly as shown there, then check the fields below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-you-edited-the-wrong-protocol-field-android\">1. You edited the wrong protocol field (Android)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the one I see missed most often. Android APN screens have two settings: <strong>APN protocol<\/strong> and <strong>APN roaming protocol<\/strong>. Android&#8217;s own developer documentation describes the second as the protocol used <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/reference\/android\/telephony\/data\/ApnSetting\">while the device is roaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A travel eSIM is always roaming. So your phone reads the roaming protocol, not the first one. People change &#8220;APN protocol&#8221; to IPv4\/IPv6 and see no difference. The fix is to set <strong>APN roaming protocol<\/strong> to IPv4\/IPv6. If that fails, try IPv4 alone. Some partner networks won&#8217;t hand out an IPv6 address to roaming users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-the-apn-type-is-blank-or-missing-default\">2. The APN type is blank or missing &#8220;default&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On Android, the APN type tells the phone what the profile is for. If it&#8217;s empty or set only to &#8220;mms,&#8221; the phone may not route normal traffic through it. Enter <strong>default,supl<\/strong> unless your provider says otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-the-right-apn-exists-but-it-isn-t-selected\">3. The right APN exists, but it isn&#8217;t selected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android can keep several APNs in the list. Only the one with the filled radio button is active. Old entries from a previous travel eSIM or your home carrier sometimes stay selected. Tap the correct one, then toggle Airplane Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-a-tiny-typing-error\">4. A tiny typing error<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>APN values are short and unforgiving. A trailing space from a copy-paste can break the session. So can autocorrect adding a capital letter or a full stop. Type it by hand. Leave username and password blank unless your provider gives them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-iphone-specific-traps\">5. iPhone-specific traps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On iPhone, go to Settings, then Cellular (or Mobile Data), select your eSIM, then Cellular Data Network. Apple notes you can only <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/102483\">view or edit the APN if your carrier allows it<\/a>. Two details matter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>iOS updates reset manual APN edits.<\/strong> Apple warns that settings edited before an update return to defaults. If data died right after an update, re-enter the APN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Old configuration profiles win.<\/strong> Per Apple, &#8220;Reset Settings&#8221; falls back to an installed profile&#8217;s values, not the carrier&#8217;s. Check Settings, then General, then VPN &amp; Device Management. Remove any old travel SIM or APN profile you no longer use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dns-layer-connected-but-names-won-t-resolve\">The DNS layer: connected, but names won&#8217;t resolve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the 1.1.1.1 test loaded and google.com didn&#8217;t, your data session works. Your phone just can&#8217;t translate names into addresses. Almost every competing guide skips this layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-android-private-dns-set-to-a-custom-hostname\">Android Private DNS set to a custom hostname<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Android&#8217;s Private DNS encrypts name lookups. Google&#8217;s own help page <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/android\/answer\/9654714?hl=en\">recommends keeping it on<\/a>, and &#8220;Automatic&#8221; is the safe choice. The problem is the third option: a custom hostname such as an ad-blocker or family filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that mode, your phone uses only that resolver. If the roaming network can&#8217;t reach it, lookups fail completely. You&#8217;ll often see &#8220;Private DNS server cannot be accessed&#8221; or &#8220;Mobile network has no internet access.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Go to Settings, Network &amp; internet, Private DNS. Pick <strong>Automatic<\/strong>. On Samsung, look under Connections, More connection settings. Retest before switching back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iphone-dns-profiles-and-ad-blocking-apps\">iPhone DNS profiles and ad-blocking apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>iOS has no single Private DNS switch. Instead, apps and profiles install DNS settings. Ad blockers, parental controls and work profiles all do this. Check Settings, General, VPN &amp; Device Management for a DNS entry. Disable it for a moment and retest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-icloud-private-relay-on-your-esim-line\">iCloud Private Relay on your eSIM line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Private Relay sends Safari traffic through two relays. Some roaming networks don&#8217;t play nicely with it. The telltale sign is Safari failing while other apps work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/102022\">turn off Private Relay for one network only<\/a>. Go to Settings, Cellular, tap your eSIM, and switch off <strong>Limit IP Address Tracking<\/strong>. This setting belongs to that single line, so your home SIM and Wi-Fi keep their protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vpns-with-a-kill-switch\">VPNs with a kill switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An always-on VPN blocks all traffic until its tunnel connects. On a new roaming network, the tunnel may never finish. Pause the VPN, confirm the eSIM works, then turn it back on. If you want privacy on the road, our <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/baztel-vs-saily\/\">BazTel vs Saily comparison<\/a> weighs bundled VPNs against plain data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-symptom-map-find-your-fix-fast\">Symptom map: find your fix fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>What you see<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Most likely cause<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Fix<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Full bars, data counter stuck at zero<\/td><td>APN or roaming protocol<\/td><td>Set APN roaming protocol to IPv4\/IPv6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>WhatsApp works, Chrome doesn&#8217;t<\/td><td>Private DNS hostname<\/td><td>Set Private DNS to Automatic<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Safari fails, other apps fine<\/td><td>iCloud Private Relay<\/td><td>Turn off Limit IP Address Tracking on the eSIM line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Worked yesterday, dead after iOS update<\/td><td>APN reset by update<\/td><td>Re-enter the APN<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Works on Wi-Fi only<\/td><td>VPN or DNS profile<\/td><td>Pause VPN, disable DNS profile<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&#8220;SOS only&#8221; or &#8220;No Service&#8221;<\/td><td>Network layer<\/td><td>See <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/faq\">our FAQ<\/a> and activation guide<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-send-support-if-nothing-works\">What to send support if nothing works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good support message cuts resolution time. Include these five things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phone model and OS version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The network name shown in your status bar or SIM settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A screenshot of your APN screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your result from the 1.1.1.1 test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the data counter moves at all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With those, a support agent can usually tell the layer in one reply. BazTel customers can reach us through our <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/contact-us\">contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stop-it-happening-before-you-fly\">Stop it happening before you fly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set Private DNS to Automatic before you leave.

BazTel customers can find it in the dashboard under Manage eSIMs, Install eSIM, Manual installation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your phone isn&#8217;t carrier-locked or modified. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/esim-rooted-jailbroken-phone\/\">eSIM on a rooted or jailbroken phone<\/a> explains why that matters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install and test your eSIM at home, then switch the line off until you land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also why we built BazTel&#8217;s installation to work in one tap, with no QR code. Fewer manual steps means fewer settings to get wrong. You can browse plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/esim-plans\">160+ destinations<\/a>, starting from US$1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-my-esim-have-signal-but-no-internet\">Why does my eSIM have signal but no internet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Signal only means your eSIM has found a network. Internet needs a working data session and working name lookups on top. A wrong APN, roaming turned off, or a custom DNS setting can each block data while bars stay full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-know-if-my-esim-problem-is-apn-or-dns\">How do I know if my eSIM problem is APN or DNS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Type 1.1.1.1 into your browser. If that page loads but normal websites don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s DNS. If nothing loads and your data counter stays still, it&#8217;s the APN or data session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-i-turn-off-private-dns-when-travelling\">Should I turn off Private DNS when travelling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to turn it off. Set it to Automatic. That keeps encryption where the network supports it and avoids total failure when a custom resolver can&#8217;t be reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-icloud-private-relay-stop-my-esim-working\">Can iCloud Private Relay stop my eSIM working?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can stop Safari loading on some roaming networks. Turn off Limit IP Address Tracking for the eSIM line only. Your other connections keep Private Relay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-do-i-find-the-apn-for-my-baztel-esim\">Where do I find the APN for my BazTel eSIM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to your BazTel dashboard and open Manage eSIMs. Click Install eSIM and review the Manual installation section. It lists the APN Name and the APN to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-did-my-esim-data-stop-after-an-ios-update\">Why did my eSIM data stop after an iOS update?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple states that manual APN edits reset to defaults after an update. Re-enter the APN your provider gave you under Cellular Data Network.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"about-founder\">\n        <div class=\"founder-info\">\n            <div class=\"author-profile\">\n                <div class=\"author-img\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/baztel.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Peter-Basil.jpg\" alt=\"Peter\" class=\"founder-img\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                                    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"author-social d-md-flex justify-content-between align-items-center\">\n                    <ul>\n                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/peter.basil.165\" aria-label=\"Facebook profile\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa-brands fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/baz084\" aria-label=\"Instagram profile\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa-brands fa-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n                        <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/peter-basil\/\" aria-label=\"LinkedIn profile\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fa-brands fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div> \n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"founder-details\">\n                <h4>Blog Author<\/h4>\n                <h3 class=\"author-name\">Peter<\/h3>\n                                <div class=\"founder-about-content\">\n                    <p>I&#039;m Peter, the founder of BazTel.
