Airalo help

So i've been reading and researching and bit the bullet this morning and purchased Airalo for my phone for my upcoming trip to Germany (we arrive there this Saturday).
I'm so confused. Nothing seemed to go as their instructions said.
I have the esim listed on my SIM Manager (Android phone - Samsung Galaxy S22).
The instructions all say to check the APN which nothing ever went to that screen as the instructions said.

Because I have installed early and just want to connect on Saturday when we arrive I'm just now scared to even know if I've done it correct and it will work.
Since it is listed in my SIM Manager, do I just turn it on and turn my normal SIM off on the plane before we arrive?
I think I've read that I keep mobile data roaming turned on? (which means I have to turn off the Normal Home SIM or I will get roaming charges)?
With my normal SIM turned off will I still have access to the apps, contacts, emails etc on the phone? I realize I cannot use text or phone calls.
I'm sorry this is all over the place but I'm in last minute trip prep and have now been working on this for 2 hours this morning when I thought it was gonna be a straight forward 5 minute task.

Thanks

Was it intended by you to post this in Germany forum and not in Technology Tips like your other thread?
Likely you will get better help there. Of course contacting your provider promises the best solutions.

Oops...yes I should have posted there. Told you I was frazzled lol. I contacted the supplier and got a response that they are very busy and it will take some time to answer me.
