Systems and methods for self-configuring wireless device initializations are provided. In one embodiment, a network device comprises: a radio module that includes a plurality of wireless service support circuits, wherein each of the support circuits includes modules that configure the radio module to establish wireless network communication links over at least one band of a wireless network operator; initialization logic coupled to the radio module; and a network service preference policy stored in a memory coupled to the initialization logic; wherein, upon initialization of the device, the initialization logic surveys one or more wireless services received by the radio module and compares results of the survey against a network service preference policy; and wherein the initialization logic activates a first support circuits associated with a first wireless service when the survey indicates that the first wireless signal satisfies the network service preference policy.
