If you use a <strong>Europe roaming SIM, data roaming must<\/strong> be switched on in the router, phone or device the SIM card is in.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is roaming needed?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The roaming SIM connects to different mobile operators&#8217; networks depending on the country.

Which mobile network is used can therefore vary from place to place. Data roaming normally needs to be switched on, and in some situations manual network selection can help if the automatic choice has got stuck on a weak or unavailable network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Useful links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/en\/product-category\/sim-kort\/\"><strong>\u2192 See SIM cards for Sweden and Europe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wifi-faq-related\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/en\/faq-europe-sim\/\">FAQ: Europe SIM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"faq_category":[510],"class_list":["post-33098","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_category-roaming-sim"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Does roaming have to be switched on? | Wifi.se<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Yes.
