    On the APN setting page, please check Roaming data to enable it. Then the device will be able to connect to roaming network automatically.

      Hi thanks for response unfortiunately did not work with this sim. Another sim did work. My internet supplier seems incapable of providing me with APN settings and I don't know where to find them for Bouyages France

        If your APN setting is the same as what you used in your home network, but data connection still can not be set up after you enable Roaming data checkbox, that means your SIM plan may not have roaming data enabled. Please check your carrier.

         

        If you buy a local SIM card, you can ask the vendor what APN to set.

         

        Thanks
