I purchased a x1 Unlimited U.S. Talk, Text and 5GB Data Bundle (30 days) for $40.00 on Oct 25, 2006. My phone broke while I was on holiday and I had to get a new phone with an eSIM that I purchased on Nov 5. The roaming data plan worked for a few days and now it is not working.

@TJO2008 

on your new phone, you have purchased a new Public Mobile eSIM? Make sure the Public Mobile eSIM is enable and set as Primary. 

Critical part to US roaming depends on T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon coverage and whether you can connect successfully onto either network.

First, make sure you disable VPN

If the phone is not connecting to T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon, change the Network Connection from Automatic to Manual and select and test each of the three and see which one you can connect and work best

If your issue is with data, make sure your Roaming Mobile data is enabled and you have disabled your mobile data limiter.  Also change your network mode to 4G (and don't try 5G until you can connect and works on 4G)

If your issue is with voice, use the IMEI checker to check if your phone is VoLTE whitelisted by PM here:

If your phone is capable with PM's VoLTE, you might want to enable VoLTE on your device if you see the option there (although most phones would have that enabled already and the option is hidden)
If your phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist, you might need to use some VoIP app like TextNow as a workaround
