"Connected but no internet"

Go to settings and ensure Data Roaming is ON for the eTravelSim SIM specifically.

"Shows connected to network but very slow"

Try toggling Airplane Mode off and back on to force a network refresh.

"eSIM not showing in settings"

Restart your device and check again.

"eSIM installed on wrong device"
