My data isn't working
If you've just activated your SIM and you've got a signal, you might need to check a couple of things to get your data working.
- Check that you have Data Roaming & Mobile Data turned on in your Settings.
- Make sure that you have changed your APN settings to match the following:
Name: internet
APN: internet
User name: [leave this field blank]
Password: [leave this field blank] - Restart your phone
- If it's still not working, try the SIM in another phone to see if it'll work there.
If you've been using your SIM but suddenly your data has stopped working
- Check that you have data balance left by going into your phone settings> data usage
- Try turning your device off and on
- Try to remove the SIM from your device and re-insert it
- If your phone says it's connected to LTE or 4G but the data isn't working, try to manually turn off LTE/4G to connect to 4G/3G.
Apple:
Settings > Mobile > Mobile data options > Disable LTE > Restart
Android:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Switch to 3G/2G > Restart
I've tried everything and it's still not working

How do I find my mobile number?
This SIM is data-only so it doesn't come with a phone number! The SIM cannot make or receive calls and texts!
How do I check my balance?
You can find how much data you've used in your phone settings!
How do I recharge?
As described on the website, the SIM is non-rechargeable. The only way around this is to buy multiple SIM cards and swap them out as you go.
