I bought a Brazil travel add-on before I left and now that I am in Brazil I can't get my phone to work. Data-roaming is activated on the phone. But it only connects to the internet if there is a free Wi-Fi connection, so I can't use any mobile data. Which means that I can't use Google maps to get around the country... How can I get my travel add-on mobile data to work?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy J1(6) phone, if that matters. Thanks for the help!

Your phone must  be compatible with the Band B3 or B7 for the LTE
try to enable the 3G

If you have the exact version of your J1 will be great to see wich band has

Did you put the carrier selection to automatic?
Did you already try to restart the phone, sometime helps

You should check your APN settings.
APN | Network Settings | Fizz
Fizz APN settings are:
APN: mobile.bm
MMSC: http://mms.mobile.bm
MMS proxy: mmsproxy.mobile.bm
MMS port: 80
APN type: default,mms,supl
Go to mobile networks settings, create a new APN and enter the information above.
Then you can delete all the others and let just this you created.
Restart your phone after.

Hi Mike,
the exact model is SM-J120W. The carrier selection was previously on automatic, and the phone automatically chose Vivo as the carrier.
I am going to try Thiago's advice now and see if I can get it working.
Thanks so much for your help!
