As more travellers are embracing eSIM technology to stay connected while abroad, it’s essential to ensure your iPhone’s eSIM is set up correctly. Whether you’re roaming around Australia or exploring new horizons internationally, an eSIM offers incredible flexibility and convenience for managing your mobile data and communication. However, like any tech, it sometimes requires a few adjustments to keep it running smoothly. Here are some essential iPhone eSIM settings tweaks to keep you connected through AussieRoam’s travel services.
1. Activate Your eSIM
Before diving into more detailed fixes, first ensure that your eSIM is activated. eSIM activation can sometimes take a bit of time depending on your service provider. If your new eSIM hasn’t activated immediately, don’t panic. Allow some time, and check your network settings after 10–15 minutes. If there’s still no connection, proceed to the next step.
2. Reset Network Settings
If you’ve been experiencing connectivity issues, resetting your network settings can be a lifesaver. It’s a quick way to resolve issues that might have built up over time, such as outdated carrier settings or glitches in your iPhone’s software.
To reset your network settings:
Go to Settings > General > Reset.
Choose Reset Network Settings.
Enter your passcode, and confirm the action.
This will reset Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and eSIM settings without affecting your other data. It can resolve a wide range of network-related problems, helping you get back online quickly.
3. Toggle Your eSIM On and Off
Sometimes, simply turning your eSIM off and on again can fix connection issues. This is a quick way to refresh the connection between your iPhone and the carrier network.
To do this:
Open Settings > Mobile Service.
Find your eSIM plan and toggle it Off. Wait for a few seconds.
Toggle it On again, and check if your connection is restored.
This simple action often solves temporary connectivity issues, getting you back online without fuss.
4. Try Airplane Mode
Another common fix for network problems is toggling Airplane Mode. This method forces your phone to disconnect from all networks and then reconnect again, which can sometimes fix stubborn connection problems.
To try this:
Swipe down to open Control Centre, and tap the Airplane Mode icon.
Wait for about 15 seconds, then tap it again to reconnect to the network.
Additionally, you can manually select the network allowed on your eSIM by navigating to Settings > Mobile Service > Network Selection and choosing your preferred network.
5. Switch Voice & Data to LTE
For many travellers using an eSIM, especially those exploring areas with limited 5G coverage, switching your voice and data settings to LTE can improve both connection stability and speed. Here’s how you can do it:
Open Settings > Mobile Service.
Tap your eSIM.
Select Voice & Data and switch to LTE.
This can be particularly helpful if 5G coverage is spotty, allowing you to enjoy a more stable LTE connection while travelling.
