In order to access the internet on your phone, you need to turn on your mobile data provided that you have a proper data subscription. The process is not that cumbersome either. You can turn it on through the Control Center or your phone’s settings.
How to Turn on Mobile Data?
Before turning on mobile data, it’s better to understand and check a couple of things.
You need to have a mobile data plan. While using data on roaming, network carriers may charge you high if you are in some other country. If your device supports physical SIM and E–SIM, you can switch between them to use mobile data. You need to have a correct APN (Access Point Name) for mobile data to work. The speed of mobile data depends on different factors such as your location, weather, network generation (5G/4G) and so on.
