If a Chile eSIM is not working, first confirm that it is installed, enabled and selected for mobile data. Most problems come from the wrong data line, disabled roaming, an incomplete APN or a temporary coverage gap.
Do not delete the eSIM while troubleshooting. Deletion can remove the profile and may require support assistance before it can be installed again.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only. We do not provide conventional calls, SMS or a Chilean number, so test the mobile-data connection rather than the phone dialler.
Quick answer: Turn on the Chile eSIM, select it for mobile data, enable data roaming for that line, leave network selection automatic and restart the phone. If data still fails, verify the APN is data.esim.

Check the basic settings in order
- Turn off Wi-Fi so the test uses mobile data.
- Confirm that the Chile eSIM line is switched on.
- Select it as the mobile-data line.
- Enable data roaming for the eSIM.
- Restart the phone and wait several minutes.
Verify the APN
Open the mobile-data settings for the travel eSIM. When an APN is required, enter data.esim exactly and leave username and password blank unless support provides different instructions. The Chile APN guide shows where to check it.
Separate coverage from configuration
Move outdoors or test in a populated area. Remote roads and parks may have no partner signal even when the profile is correct. Consult the Chile coverage guide before repeatedly changing settings.
Try network selection only after automatic mode
Automatic selection is the normal starting point. If it fails in an area with expected service, use the manual network guide and choose only a partner permitted by the plan.
When to contact support
Contact NoveSIM with the order number, phone model, location, screenshots of the data-line and APN settings, and any error message. State which steps have already been completed. Keep the eSIM installed.

FAQ
Why does my Chile eSIM show signal but no data?
The wrong data line, disabled roaming or an incorrect APN are common causes. Check them before selecting a network manually.
What APN should a NoveSIM eSIM use?
Use data.esim when manual APN entry is required.
Should I delete and reinstall the eSIM?
No. Keep it installed unless NoveSIM support specifically instructs you to delete it.
Can remote coverage look like an eSIM fault?
Yes. Test again in a populated location before treating a lack of signal as a configuration failure.
Final Recommendation
Troubleshoot in sequence: data line, roaming, restart, APN, coverage and network selection.
Keep the eSIM installed and document the settings before contacting support.
This preserves the profile and makes the real cause easier to identify.
