The NoveSIM APN for an Egypt eSIM is data.esim when manual entry is required. Do not copy the APN of Orange Egypt, Vodafone Egypt, e& Egypt or WE into a NoveSIM travel profile; those settings belong to different services.
Many phones receive the APN automatically. Add or edit it only when the plan instructions require manual configuration or when support asks you to verify the field.
Keep the eSIM installed throughout troubleshooting. Deleting it may make the activation code unusable and is not necessary for correcting an APN.
Quick answer: Select the Egypt eSIM for mobile data, enable Data Roaming and set the APN to data.esim. Leave username and password blank unless NoveSIM Support provides different values. Save the APN, select it, restart the phone and test with Wi-Fi off.

How to set the APN on iPhone
- Open Settings and select Mobile Service or Cellular.
- Choose the NoveSIM line.
- Open Mobile Data Network when that menu is available.
- Enter data.esim in the Mobile Data APN field.
- Leave username and password blank.
- Return to the previous screen, restart the phone and test mobile data.
If the APN menu is hidden, the profile or carrier settings may manage it automatically. Do not install an unknown configuration profile to expose the field.
How to set the APN on Android
- Open Settings.
- Select Network & Internet, Connections or the equivalent menu.
- Choose the NoveSIM line and open Access Point Names.
- Add a new APN named NoveSIM.
- Enter data.esim as the APN.
- Save it, select it as active and restart the phone.
Menu names vary by manufacturer and Android version. Make sure you edit the travel line rather than the physical home SIM.
Which other settings are required?
- The Egypt eSIM must be switched on.
- It must be selected for mobile data.
- Data Roaming must be enabled on that eSIM.
- Automatic data switching should be off.
- Network selection should begin on Automatic.
The Egypt eSIM activation guide covers the complete arrival sequence. APN entry alone cannot help if the wrong line is selected.
What if data still does not work?
Turn Wi-Fi off and open a normal webpage. Confirm that the plan is active, has remaining data and includes Egypt. Toggle Airplane Mode briefly, restart and try outdoors or in another part of the building.
Leave network selection on Automatic. Do not delete the profile. Continue with the Egypt eSIM troubleshooting guide or the focused no-internet checks.

FAQ
What is the NoveSIM APN in Egypt?
Use data.esim when the NoveSIM profile requires manual APN entry.
Should I enter an Egyptian operator APN?
No. A local operator’s APN belongs to its own SIM service and should not replace the NoveSIM value.
Why can I not see the APN menu?
The device or profile may manage it automatically. Do not install unknown profiles; contact support if the connection fails.
Should I reinstall the eSIM after changing the APN?
No. Save the APN, select it and restart. Keep the eSIM installed unless support instructs otherwise.
Final Recommendation
Use data.esim only on the NoveSIM travel line, with blank username and password unless support says otherwise.
Then verify the selected data line, Data Roaming and Automatic network selection. Preserve the profile and send screenshots to support if the connection still fails.
