Choose a network. Keep your NXTL eSIM.
Want to try a lower-priced partner or another available connection? Select a supported mobile network in your phone’s settings—without installing another eSIM.
Automatic selection is the usual starting point. Manual selection is a useful option when you want to try a specific operator.
Looking for Cheapest or Best coverage? Those are NXTL account preferences, not the manual network setting on your phone.
Understand Network Preference
Check the partner before you tap.
Find a supported operator
Look up your destination on Data Pricing. Note a supported network and its rate before switching.
Use the NXTL line
Keep NXTL enabled, select it for mobile data and allow data roaming on that line. Make the network change for NXTL, not your usual home SIM.
Keep a way back
A manually selected network may stop working as you move out of its coverage. You can turn automatic selection back on from the same menu.
Your phone may display networks that NXTL cannot use. Appearing in a scan does not mean a network is supported. Usage is charged at the published rate of the network you actually connect to.
Find the setting on your device.
Choose the instructions closest to your phone. Menu names can vary with the model, software version and carrier.

This is a general route, not a promise that every Android device exposes the same controls.
If the network will not connect.
Try the next useful check. Keep your installed eSIM in place.
The operator is missing, or my phone says it cannot connect.
A network may be unavailable at your location, and not every result in a phone’s scan is an NXTL partner. Check the destination’s current network list and rate, then try another available supported operator or return to automatic selection. You can also review your NXTL preference if you need a broader choice of networks.
I cannot find the network-selection option.
First check that you are opening the NXTL line, not a different SIM or the Wi-Fi settings. Some models or carrier configurations do not expose manual network selection. Search your device’s Settings for Network operators or Network selection. If the control is still unavailable, keep automatic selection and ask support for device-specific help.
The network name appears, but mobile data still does not work.
Check that NXTL is selected for mobile data, its data roaming is enabled and your account has balance. Also check whether an account or eSIM usage limit has paused data. If those checks do not explain it, follow the connection guide for APN and other setup checks, or contact support. Do not delete the profile as a first fix.
Tell us your device model, country, the operator you tried and any message on screen.
More choice, without starting over.
A different available partner does not need to mean a different travel eSIM. With NXTL, you can check the rate, try a supported network and keep using the same installed profile.
