Tips for a smooth connection
On some Android phones roaming is a global setting for the selected data SIM. Confirm that SimPass Go is selected for mobile data before enabling it and disable automatic data switching. Keep roaming off on your primary line where separate controls exist.

Select the SimPass Go line for Mobile Data during your trip. Keep your primary SIM for calls and messages; you do not need to replace it permanently. Disable automatic data switching and roaming on your primary SIM to avoid carrier charges.
Turn on the SimPass Go line, select it for Mobile Data and confirm Data Roaming is on. Allow a few minutes to find a partner network. If it does not connect, toggle Airplane Mode or restart the phone. Follow your plan’s specific rules; contact support if unsure.
