    • Enable Mobile Data
    • Enable Data Roaming
    • Turn off Mobile Data from your other SIM card
    • If you still don't have connectivity, please check your APN (access point names) settings. If your APN was not set automatically, you can set the APN manually. Please contact us for the APN details
