Regardless of whether you use iOS 16 or you’ve still got iOS 15 downloaded, the step to change your iPhone’s network carrier is identical. Below are the steps you need to follow.

  1. Open the Settings app and go to Cellular.
  2. Click on the Network Selection tab.
  3. If your device has the Automatic feature toggled on, switch this off.
  4. Once you’ve turned the toggle off, a list of network providers should appear; you might need to wait for these. When they show up, choose the carrier you’d like to use.

After choosing your network carrier, you should be able to start using your iPhone on that network before too long.

Changing Your iPhone’s Network Carrier Doesn’t Require Too Much Effort

As you can see from the steps listed above, changing your iOS network carrier is a straightforward process. You might be limited in terms of internet connection for different providers, but you can switch to another from the list if that’s the case.

If you’ve used this feature when traveling abroad, note that you might need to switch back to your preferred carrier when arriving home.
