Keep a Dominican Republic eSIM on Automatic network selection first. Use a manual scan only when the enabled travel line has failed to register after roaming, line assignment and coverage have been checked.
A visible network name does not mean the plan is authorised to join it. The purchased product determines partner access.
NoveSIM plans are data-only, and manual selection does not add a local number or change the plan’s coverage agreement.
Quick answer: Scan manually as a diagnostic step, select only a partner permitted by the exact plan and return to Automatic if registration fails.

Complete These Checks First
- The travel profile is present, enabled and selected for mobile data.
- Data Roaming is on for the travel line.
- Automatic data switching and home-line roaming are off.
- The plan includes the Dominican Republic and is active.
- The phone has been tested in a safe open position.
Use the full Dominican Republic troubleshooting sequence before changing selection.
Run a Manual Scan
- Open the travel line’s Mobile Network or Network Selection settings.
- Turn Automatic selection off and wait for the scan to finish.
- Compare the visible names with the partner information for the exact plan.
- Select an allowed partner and wait several minutes.
- Test mobile data with Wi-Fi off if registration succeeds.
- If it fails, return the setting to Automatic rather than trying unsupported names repeatedly.
Review current partner details on the NoveSIM Dominican Republic product page. A general list of Claro, Altice and Viva is not proof that one travel profile can access all three.
Interpret the Result
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Allowed partner registers | Test data and then decide whether to return to Automatic |
| Network visible but rejected | The profile may not be authorised or registration may be temporarily unavailable |
| No networks visible | Check location, line status, device bands or a broader radio problem |
| Signal but no data | Check allowance and the data.esim APN rather than changing networks repeatedly |
The coverage guide helps distinguish a local gap from a plan setting. Do not delete the eSIM after a failed scan.

FAQ
Should I choose the strongest visible network?
Only if the exact plan permits it. Signal strength does not grant registration authority.
Should manual selection stay on?
Usually Automatic is better for movement between areas. Keep a manual choice only when support or the product instructions require it.
Final Recommendation
Use Automatic selection as the normal setting.
Scan manually only after line, roaming, plan and location checks pass.
Select an authorised partner, then keep the installed profile and return to safe troubleshooting if it fails.
