Insert a NANO SIM card into the device. The SIM has a cut corner that slides under the metal housing — it only fits one way. If you have a standard SIM, pop it down to the smallest (NANO) size using the original housing.

4G Settings: Connection Mode

Roaming enable checkbox in Connection Mode

Enable the roaming checkbox. IQ Mobile data SIMs include "roam like home" coverage throughout Europe without roaming charges.

4G Settings: Network Selection

Manual and automatic network selection toggle options

This feature allows manual selection of available networks when roaming — for example in France or Spain you may prefer a specific network for better signal. Remember to return to automatic selection afterwards.

Network selection is optional but useful for roaming optimisation.

4G Settings: APN Settings

APN settings configuration interface

The device typically auto-detects correct APN settings. However, manual configuration may be necessary. Enter the following for IQ Travel / IQ Mobile SIM-only services:

Manual APN profile creation interface
APN profile selection and configuration completion

Step 5: Final Configuration and Reboot

Confirm the APN is active, then reboot the device to establish the online connection.

Mobile browser APN editing is cumbersome — laptop configuration is recommended for clearer control and easier editing.
