Italy eSIM APN settings normally configure automatically. Check them only when the eSIM is installed and enabled but mobile data still does not work, or when the NoveSIM order instructions explicitly request manual entry.
For NoveSIM, the APN value is data.esim. Do not substitute an Italian operator’s APN or copy settings from another provider.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only. The correct APN supports internet access but does not add an Italian number, conventional calls or SMS.
Quick answer: Select the NoveSIM line, enter data.esim in the APN field if it is blank or incorrect, leave username and password blank unless support says otherwise, save the setting and refresh the connection. Do not delete the eSIM.

Capitalisation and extra spaces can prevent the setting from working. Edit only the travel-eSIM profile, not the home carrier’s APN.
Check the APN on iPhone
- Open Settings and choose Cellular or Mobile Service.
- Select the NoveSIM line.
- Open Cellular Data Network when that menu is available.
- Enter data.esim in the Cellular Data APN field.
- Return to Settings, confirm Data Roaming is enabled on the travel line and refresh the connection.
Menu availability depends on iPhone model, iOS version and carrier profile. See the Italy eSIM iPhone guide for the broader setup.
Check the APN on Android
- Open Settings and the mobile-network or SIM menu.
- Select the NoveSIM eSIM.
- Open Access Point Names.
- Create or edit the travel profile with APN data.esim.
- Save and select that profile, then refresh the connection.
Android wording varies by manufacturer. Use the Italy eSIM Android guide for device context.
If Mobile Data Still Does Not Work
Confirm the eSIM is selected for Mobile Data, Data Roaming is enabled on it, the plan is active and Italy is included. Toggle Airplane Mode for 30 seconds. Keep the profile installed and continue with Italy eSIM troubleshooting.

FAQ
What is the NoveSIM APN in Italy?
The APN is data.esim.
Should username and password be filled?
Leave them blank unless NoveSIM Support provides different instructions for the order.
Why can I not see the APN menu?
The menu may be controlled by the phone, operating system or carrier profile. Confirm the correct line and contact support if editing is unavailable.
Should I delete the eSIM to reset its APN?
No. Keep it installed unless NoveSIM Support explicitly instructs deletion.
Final Recommendation
Use the Italy eSIM APN settings only on the NoveSIM travel line.
Enter data.esim exactly and leave other fields unchanged unless instructed.
If data remains unavailable, preserve the profile and diagnose the data line, roaming, plan and network in order.
