Most phones receive APN settings automatically, so manual editing should not be the first step when a Finland eSIM has no data. First confirm that the correct line is enabled and selected for mobile data.
When a NoveSIM plan requires manual APN entry, the APN is data.esim. Do not substitute the APN of a Finnish domestic operator or copy settings from another provider.
NoveSIM Finland eSIMs are data-only. APN configuration controls the data connection; it does not create a Finnish number, voice minutes or carrier SMS.
Quick answer: Select the Finland eSIM for mobile data, enable Data Roaming for that line and leave network selection automatic. Enter data.esim only if the APN is blank or the plan instructions require it, then restart the connection without deleting the eSIM.
Top eSIMs
Check these settings before the APN
- Confirm that the Finland eSIM is turned on.
- Select it as the active mobile-data line.
- Enable Data Roaming for the Finland line.
- Disable home-SIM roaming and automatic mobile-data switching.
- Wait for automatic network registration.
If the profile has not yet been activated, follow the Finland eSIM activation guide before changing advanced settings.
Enter data.esim on iPhone
Open Settings → Mobile Service/Cellular → Finland eSIM → Mobile Data Network. In the Mobile Data APN field, enter data.esim. Leave username and password blank unless support provides different instructions.
The menu may be hidden when settings are managed automatically. Do not force another provider’s APN. See the Finland iPhone guide for line selection.
Enter data.esim on Android
Open the mobile-network settings for the Finland eSIM and find Access Point Names. Add or edit an APN with data.esim in the APN field, save it and select it. Leave unrelated fields at their default values.
Android menu names vary. The Finland Android guide covers common manufacturer paths.
Test the connection safely
After saving the APN, toggle aeroplane mode once or restart the phone once. Keep network selection automatic and test a simple webpage with Wi-Fi switched off. Moving to an open area can help distinguish a settings issue from weak indoor reception.
Do not delete the eSIM. If data still fails, record the device model, location, signal state and screenshots, then follow the Finland troubleshooting sequence or contact support.

FAQ
What is the NoveSIM APN for Finland?
The APN is data.esim when manual entry is required.
Should I copy a Finnish operator’s APN?
No. Use the APN supplied for the travel eSIM, not a domestic operator’s settings.
Should username and password be filled in?
Leave them blank unless the plan instructions or NoveSIM support explicitly provide values.
Should I delete and reinstall the eSIM?
No. Check line selection, roaming, APN and network registration first, and contact support before deleting the profile.
Final Recommendation
Treat APN editing as a targeted check, not the first response to every connection problem.
For NoveSIM, enter data.esim only where required, save the profile and restart the connection safely.
Confirm current plan requirements on the Finland eSIM page.
