5. If the SIM/eSIM works, you can insert back your physical home country SIM card and/or turn it back on.
6. If Step 1-5 above does not work, please try delete again the current APN profile you have downloaded.
7. Get connected to a WiFi connection instead of your other SIM connection(s) - if applicable; please connect to a WiFi connection such as a home WiFi, public WiFi, etc.
8. Perform a Network Reset:

Latest iOS version: Go to Settings---> General---> Transfer or Reset iPhone---> Reset---> Reset Network Settings
※Please rest assured that a Network Reset will only erase APN settings, which can be reinstalled at any time.
This will not affect your SIM or any other data stored on your phone.
