I got my Pixel 2 XL a couple days ago and the apn settings from my Net10 sim card couldn't be imported into the phone so the calls would work and sms text, but no mobile data and no sms pics. After hours of support with Net10 and google I jumped ship and switched to Total Wireless, but still having the same issues. I've even tried a factory reset on the phone. Any suggestions? Please and thank you! - Jason
 
Android eliminated the ability to add apn settings like a year ago. I was however able to put in an older Straight Talk CDMA sim card and it imported those apn settings and I was then able to edit it to Total Wireless and put the TW sim back in and it worked. Strange this wouldn't work with both the Net10 and Total Wireless sim cards.
 
AFAIK the ability to add and edit APN details has never been removed from Android. And only reason why I think it would be removed is locked carrier supplied phones.

This is from my Oppo, and the + top right is to add new APNs.

Is there not a "+" icon at the top of this page?
