You've just landed in a new country, excitement buzzing in the air. You pull out your phone to check for messages, order a ride, or look up directions to your hotel... but there's no internet. Your phone shows it's connected to a network, but nothing loads. It’s a frustrating moment that can instantly add stress to your trip.

Don't worry, this is a very common issue with a surprisingly simple solution. In most cases, your Yoho Mobile eSIM is working perfectly, but one crucial setting on your phone is preventing it from accessing data. This guide will walk you through the number one fix to get you online in minutes.

Before we dive into the fix, it's always great to start a trip with peace of mind. With Yoho Mobile's flexible plans, you can build a custom package for your journey, ensuring you only pay for the data you need. Explore our flexible data plans and travel smarter.

Why Your eSIM Shows a Signal But Has No Internet

When you land in a new country, your Yoho Mobile eSIM automatically connects to one of our trusted local network partners. This is why your phone shows signal bars and a carrier name—it has successfully registered on the local network. However, to actually use data on this partner network, your phone needs permission to "roam."

"Data Roaming" is a setting on your phone that allows it to use mobile data on a network other than your primary home network. Many people are conditioned to keep this off to avoid exorbitant roaming charges from their home carrier. But with a prepaid travel eSIM like Yoho Mobile, this setting is essential. Your plan is already paid for, so enabling data roaming will not incur any extra fees. It simply tells your phone, "It's okay to use the data I've already purchased on this local network."

The Quick Fix: Enabling Data Roaming on Your Device

Here’s the step-by-step process for both iOS and Android devices. Following these instructions is the most common solution for an eSIM that's connected but has no internet.

For iPhone (iOS) Users

Apple makes this process straightforward. Remember, one of the best parts of using Yoho Mobile on an iPhone is the simple installation; after purchase, you just tap 'Install' in our app to get started, no QR codes or manual activation codes are needed!

  1. Go to Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on Cellular (or Mobile Data).
  3. Under 'Cellular Plans' (or SIMs), tap on your Yoho Mobile eSIM (it might be labeled as 'Travel' or another name you assigned it).
  4. Find the Data Roaming toggle switch.
  5. Make sure it is toggled ON (green).

Once you've done this, your data should start working within a minute.

For Android Users (Samsung, Google Pixel, etc.)

The steps on Android can vary slightly depending on your phone's manufacturer, but the general path is very similar.

  1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
  2. Navigate to Network & Internet or Connections.
  3. Tap on SIMs or SIM card manager.
  4. Select your Yoho Mobile eSIM from the list.
  5. Look for a setting named Roaming or Data Roaming.
  6. Ensure the switch is toggled to the ON position.

After enabling roaming, turn your mobile data off and on once, and you should be connected!

Still No Connection? Other Troubleshooting Steps to Try

If enabling data roaming didn't solve the problem, here are a few other quick checks you can perform to troubleshoot your travel eSIM.

1. Check Your APN Settings

An APN (Access Point Name) is how your phone connects to the internet via the mobile network. Usually, your Yoho Mobile eSIM configures this automatically. However, sometimes a manual check is needed. You can find detailed steps in our guide on what an APN is and how to fix it.

2. Manually Select a Network

Sometimes your phone struggles to connect to the best local network automatically. You can give it a nudge by manually selecting one. Go to your phone's Cellular/Mobile Network settings, find 'Network Selection,' turn off 'Automatic,' and choose a supported network from the list that appears.

3. Restart Your Device

The oldest trick in the tech support book often works wonders. A simple restart can resolve temporary glitches and force your phone to establish a fresh connection with the network.

4. Confirm Device Compatibility

While this is usually confirmed before purchase, it's good to know that your device must be unlocked and compatible with eSIM technology. You can always verify your phone model on our official eSIM compatible device list.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do I need to turn on data roaming for my eSIM? Won’t I get charged extra?

You need to enable data roaming because your eSIM is using a local partner network, not your home network. With a prepaid Yoho Mobile eSIM, you will not be charged extra. You are simply giving your phone permission to use the data plan you have already purchased. There are no surprise fees.

My Yoho Mobile eSIM is connected but the internet is very slow. What should I do?

Slow data can be caused by network congestion in a busy area, or you might be in a location with weaker signal coverage. Try restarting your phone or manually switching to a different network partner in your phone's settings. For more tips, check our guide on troubleshooting slow data speeds.

How do I check my data usage on Yoho Mobile?

Keeping track of your data is easy! You can monitor your usage in real-time through the Yoho Mobile app or by logging into your account on our website. We also have a guide on how to track your eSIM data usage effectively.

What happens if I turn on data roaming for my primary SIM instead of the eSIM?

Be very careful with this! If you enable data roaming on your primary SIM from your home carrier, you could incur extremely high international roaming charges. Always ensure that data roaming is enabled only for your Yoho Mobile eSIM and that your primary SIM is either turned off or has its mobile data switched off while you travel.

Conclusion

Landing in a new country without internet access can be a jarring experience, but the fix is usually just a few taps away. By ensuring the 'Data Roaming' setting is enabled for your Yoho Mobile eSIM, you can solve the most common 'connected but no internet' issue and get back to enjoying your travels.
