Below are the settings that needs to be checked for you to have the data service working on your Truphone SIM.
1. Make Sure Data Is Enabled
To use data, you must first make sure that your mobile data connection is enabled. In most handsets, this can be found inside the Settings menu .
2. Switch On Data Roaming Whilst Traveling
-
Turn on the Data Roaming option on your handset when traveling. Enabling this option differs depending on your plan, please see What Is Data Roaming.
-
If you expect to use a large amount of data when roaming and you have a Data Cap enabled, you should make sure that the limit is high enough.
-
You should also be aware of the costs you will incur, as data roaming can considerably be more expensive than standard data usage.
3. What Is Truphone's Access Point Name (APN)?
The Access Point Name (APN) is the network path for all mobile data connectivity. For a handset to connect via mobile data, it must know the Access Point Name (APN) to connect to. This setting should be setup automatically once your Truphone SIM card connects to a network.
The Truphone Settings are:
- APN: truphone.com
- Username and Password fields are not required (Leave blank)
- No other settings are required
For more information on setting up your APN settings, please refer to How To Configure Your APN Settings for Apple iOS
4. 4G/LTE Data
