Data Roaming must be ON for your Roamiya eSIM to connect abroad. But don't worry β you won't get surprise charges.
π€ Why is Data Roaming Required?
Travel eSIMs work by "roaming" onto local partner networks in your destination country (e.g., SoftBank in Japan, Orange in France).
Without Data Roaming enabled, your phone refuses to connect to these networks.
π Will I Get Charged Extra?
No. Roaming charges only apply to your home carrier's SIM. Your Roamiya eSIM has a fixed price β no surprise fees.
Pro Tip: Turn Data Roaming OFF for your home SIM to be 100% safe:
- iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Primary (Home SIM) > Data Roaming OFF.
- Android: Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > (Select Home SIM) > Data Roaming OFF.
Then turn it ON only for your Roamiya eSIM.
