Manual network selection for a Bolivia eSIM is a secondary diagnostic step, not the default way to connect.
Automatic selection normally chooses an allowed partner network; a manually chosen operator can fail when it is not included in the plan.
NoveSIM plans are data-only and network availability depends on the plan, device, location and local coverage.
Quick answer: Use manual network selection for a Bolivia eSIM only after automatic registration fails and NoveSIM Support identifies a network permitted by the current plan.

Before Manual Network Selection for a Bolivia eSIM
- Confirm the eSIM is selected for mobile data.
- Enable its Data Roaming.
- Use Airplane Mode for 30 seconds.
- Restart and retry Automatic selection.
- Check whether service is expected at the location.
The Bolivia troubleshooting guide places these safer steps in order. Coverage gaps are explained in the Bolivia coverage guide.
Choose a Network Only with Confirmed Guidance
Open network selection, disable Automatic temporarily and choose only a network confirmed for the plan. Return to Automatic if registration fails.
Manual selection does not replace the APN. When needed, the NoveSIM APN is data.esim. Do not delete the installed eSIM during the test.

FAQ
Should network selection normally be Automatic?
Yes. Manual selection is a limited diagnostic step.
Can I choose any visible operator?
No. A visible network may not be allowed by the selected plan.
Does manual selection fix remote coverage?
No. It cannot create radio service where no supported network is available.

No. Keep it installed throughout network-selection checks.
Final Recommendation
Manual network selection for a Bolivia eSIM should remain a controlled fallback.
Complete automatic registration checks first and use only a support-confirmed network.
