Resetting privacy settings does not normally delete or deactivate an eSIM. It can, however, remove app permissions, location access or VPN approvals that make one service appear offline.
First determine whether every app has lost mobile data or only a particular app. Keep the eSIM installed while testing.
NoveSIM plans are data-only, so use a browser with Wi-Fi off to test the connection itself.
Quick answer: Recheck the travel eSIM as the mobile-data line, test a webpage, then restore mobile-data, location or VPN permissions only for the affected apps. If all data fails, check roaming, network registration and APN.
Test the connection separately
- Turn Wi-Fi off.
- Open a new webpage.
- Check the affected app.
- Review its cellular-data and location permissions.
- Reconnect any trusted VPN only after basic data works.
If the browser also fails, use the complete connection checklist.
Restore only necessary permissions
Maps may need location, messaging may need notifications and a VPN app may need permission to create a tunnel. None of these permissions installs or activates the eSIM itself.
Use the app data controls to avoid granting unrestricted access to every app.
Verify the travel line
Select the eSIM for mobile data, enable its required roaming setting and leave network selection automatic. For manual NoveSIM APN entry use data.esim.
If the line cannot be enabled, follow the line-toggle checks.

FAQ
Does a privacy reset delete an eSIM?
No. It normally resets permissions rather than the cellular profile.
Why does only one app fail?
Its mobile-data, location, notification or VPN permission may have been reset.
Should I reset network settings too?
No. Diagnose permissions and the selected data line before a broader reset.
Should I reinstall the eSIM?
No. Keep the profile and restore only the affected settings.
Final Recommendation
Test basic mobile data first, then restore only the app permissions the trip requires.
Preserve the eSIM and troubleshoot roaming or APN only when every app is offline.
