Manual Network Selection on Bots

 

 

Manual Network  Selection on Commander Devices  
To lock your own device on a specific carrier, you will need a plan that supports Manual Network Selection or Manual Carrier Selection.

**For Android Devices**  
Once it is enabled, you will be able to go to Settings>Network>Mobile network>Advanced and have a section that lets you turn off automatic selection and pick a network.  On older phones this feature takes a fair bit of time to search (as much as 5 minutes).  If the search fails, you may need to reset your network connections in the phone.

**For iPhone Devices**  
Once it is enabled, you will be able to go to Settings>Mobile Data>Network Selection>Enable Manual Network Selection and pick a network.  On older phones this feature takes a fair bit of time to search (as much as 5 minutes).

\*\* If you are in the US and using AT&T, here is the process we've found.  Call support, ask for international support, and then ask for ATS (Advanced Technical Support) team.  The change takes them a few minutes.
