🤔 Why doesn't my Oppo Find X5 Pro automatically recognize the APN?

Some eSIM providers, such as BuddySIM, rely on universal, global network profile, that on some Android devices (especially Oppo, Realme, Xiaomi) not automatically assigned will. These devices therefore require manually entered APN settings.
