常见问题
Does choosing a network manually make data faster?+
Not directly. Manual selection is about attachment, not speed. If the phone happens to be sitting on a weak network, moving to a stronger one can feel smoother — but when data already works, choosing manually mainly risks pinning you to a worse network as you move around.
The list shows numbers instead of names — which should I pick?+
The numbers are network codes the phone has not translated into names, and that is not a fault. Work down the list in the order shown, since stronger signals are generally listed first. Give each attempt about a minute, and note which ones you have already tried so you do not repeat them.
What happens if I forget to switch back to automatic?+
As long as you stay put, usually nothing noticeable. Trouble starts when you change city or cross a border, because the phone keeps looking for the network you pinned, which may not exist there — and data disappears for no visible reason. If that happens en route, turning automatic back on is the first thing to try.
Will manual selection affect my main line?+
No, provided you enter the eSIM line's menu first, because network settings are per line on a dual-line phone. The risk is configuring the home line by mistake, which leaves it misbehaving when you get back. Check the line name at the top of the screen before proceeding.
I tried every network in the list and none of them attach+
Stop cycling — repeating will not change the outcome. Restart the phone once and give automatic mode a final five minutes. If that fails, message us with the network names you saw, the country you are in, the phone's make and model, and your order number, and we will check the line's status. While you wait, fall back on Wi-Fi to save your battery.
Should I select a network manually as soon as I land?+
No — give automatic mode two or three minutes first. In an airport where hundreds of phones wake at once, attaching can simply be slower than usual with nothing wrong. If nothing has appeared by then, toggle airplane mode once, and only then consider selecting manually.
