APN Configuration Guide for All Carriers
Learn how to manually configure APN settings for optimal eSIM performance with different network carriers.
APN Configuration Guide for All Carriers
APN (Access Point Name) settings tell your phone how to connect to the mobile data network. Most Roambit eSIMs configure APN automatically, but sometimes manual configuration is needed.
When Do You Need to Set APN Manually?
- Your eSIM connects to a network but data doesn't work
- You see signal bars but can't browse the internet
- You received specific APN instructions from Roambit Support
Default Roambit APN Settings
For most Roambit eSIM plans, use these settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| APN | globaldata |
| Username | (leave blank) |
| Password | (leave blank) |
| Authentication | None |
| APN Protocol | IPv4/IPv6 |
| APN Roaming Protocol | IPv4/IPv6 |
| MMSC | (leave blank) |
| MMS Proxy | (leave blank) |
| MCC | (auto-detected) |
| MNC | (auto-detected) |
Note: Some destinations may require a different APN. Check your purchase confirmation email for destination-specific APN details.
How to Configure APN
iPhone:
- Go to Settings → Cellular
- Tap your Roambit eSIM plan
- Tap Cellular Data Network
- In the APN field, enter the APN value from above
- Leave all other fields blank (unless specified)

iPhone Note: If you don't see the "Cellular Data Network" option, your eSIM's APN is locked by the carrier profile. Restart your device and try again.

- Tap the three-dot menu → Save
- Select the new APN as your active one
Samsung:
- Go to Settings → Connections → Mobile networks
- Make sure your Roambit eSIM is selected
- Tap Access Point Names

After Configuring APN

- Test your data connection by opening a web browser
Troubleshooting APN Issues
- Can't edit APN: Some carrier profiles lock APN settings. Try resetting network settings.
- APN resets after restart: Re-enter the APN and ensure you've saved it properly.
- Still no data after APN change: Try switching between IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 in the APN Protocol setting.
- Multiple APNs listed: Make sure you select the Roambit APN as the active one, not a leftover from a previous SIM.
