Is Data Roaming switched ON?
To ensure you are connected to the Internet you must switch your Data Roaming to ‘ON’ when travelling. You can find the Data Roaming button in your phone’s Settings.
For certain smartphones you might need to check your APN settings.
Do You Have Coverage?
If you find yourself in an area with limited mobile coverage, or no coverage at all, you will find it difficult to access the internet. Try switching locations and make sure you have enough signal bars to connect to 3G or 4G/LTE or 5G.
If you are in good coverage and tried everything else, you can always try a full power-down restart and see if that helps.
Have you selected the right network?
For best results, please allow your device to choose the network automatically as it will connect to the strongest one. If this isn’t strong enough you can then try to select a different network manually.
1. Please go to the ‘Buy’ page where you can select the Data Bundles you wish to buy.

You can queue bundles, for example if you have 2 World Bundles (the same or different GB values) these will be queued until the current bundles runs out or expires. You can also have a ‘World’ and a ‘World Plus’ bundle at the same time so that whichever country you go to (from either country list) you will be able to use your Megga SIM. The SIM will recognise which country you are in and use the appropriate Data Bundle.
