Basic Checks:
If cellular data access is unavailable, please visit the Android or iPhone Data Settings link below to ensure your device is configured correctly –
Android Data Settings
iPhone Data Settings
Please note that our products do not support international roaming and so if you have not yet arrived in Japan, this will be the cause of the connection issue.
If there is a secondary SIM / eSIM installed in your device, please also ensure that your Mobal SIM / eSIM is selected as the primary for cellular data access (this option is usually found within the SIM Management menu on your device).
If cellular data access is available but the connection is slow, please refer to the information found here: Speed Issues
Additional Troubleshooting:
If cellular data access is still unavailable, this may indicate that there was an issue with the installation of the APN (Access Point Name) profile or that there are conflicting settings on your device from another service.
To resolve the issue, please try following the steps below and let us know if any issues persist –
iPhone Handsets:
- Reset the Network Settings by going to: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
(please note that resetting the Network Settings will erase all saved Wi-Fi networks and passwords, as well as any VPN or APN settings you’ve configured) - Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and then Delete any APN Profiles listed
- Please also ensure that our SIM card remains selected as the primary SIM for cellular data and calls in the SIM management menu (usually found by going to Settings > Cellular / Mobile)
- You can then Install our APN Profile settings again / reconfigure your device for data access by following the instructions found here in the relevant product guide
- You can then enable the cellular data feature (please ensure WiFi is disabled while testing) and test the data connection but if there is no change, reboot your device and then test the connection again.
Android Handsets:
- Return to the Access Point Names section and delete all APN profiles that are listed (including the Mobal APN profile)
- Once complete, tap on the Options button (which usually appears as three dots in a vertical line) and select the Reset to Default option that appears.
- Please also ensure that our SIM card remains selected as the primary SIM for cellular data and calls in the SIM management menu (usually found by going to Settings > Cellular / Mobile)
- Create a new APN profile again by following the instructions found here in the relevant product guide, save / select the profile and check that all other data settings from the support guide remain correct
- You can then enable the cellular data feature (please ensure WiFi is disabled while testing) and test the data connection but if there is no change, reboot your device and then test the connection again.
