Why does my eSIM show signal bars but refuse to load a map?

Our answer

Check that cellular data is assigned to the travel eSIM, the plan is active and its provider's APN and roaming instructions are applied to that line. Open a simple website with Wi-Fi off. Signal bars can show network registration even when the plan has no working data connection.
