How to set the APN for your eSIM

Quick answer

Most eSIMs set the APN by themselves. If you have signal but no internet, message us on WhatsApp and we will send the right APN for your plan. Then add it in your phone's mobile network settings.

APN means Access Point Name. It tells your phone how to connect to the internet on that network.

Step by step
