Should I enable the 'Data switching' option on my iPhone when using eSIMania?
We recommend keeping Data Switching disabled on your iPhone when using eSIMania, particularly while traveling internationally. Here's why this setting matters for your mobile data management:
Key Reasons to Disable Data Switching
- Prevent roaming charges: When enabled, your device might automatically switch to physical SIM data usage, potentially triggering expensive carrier roaming fees
- Full data control: Maintain intentional selection of eSIMania as your primary data line to benefit from our competitive travel rates
- Battery optimization: Reduces background network scanning between multiple SIM profiles
How to Configure iPhone Settings
- Open Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data
- Verify both SIM profiles are active
- Toggle off "Allow Cellular Data Switching"
Pro Tip: Double-check these settings after iOS updates. For additional device configuration help, visit our eSIM installation guide or help center.
