Nomad eSIM installed but no data
Symptom
Nomad plan shows installed with signal bars, but apps and browsers can't load data. Same root cause as similar plans — the line isn't selected for data or Data Roaming is off.
Likely causes
- Nomad line is installed but not selected as the cellular-data line.
- Data Roaming is disabled — Nomad plans require it on the eSIM line.
- APN was not auto-configured (more common on Android).
Step-by-step fix
- 1Settings → Cellular → tap Nomad line → enable Data Roaming.
- 2Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data → switch to the Nomad line.
- 3If your device is Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Nomad line → enable Mobile data and Data Roaming.
- 4If still no data, set the APN manually using the values in your Nomad order email.
- 5Toggle Airplane mode or reboot to force network re-registration.
