What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

After years of eSim, wanting eSim, asking for nothing but eSim, I'm done with eSim. Having an argument with a T-Mobile rep in store on whether or not my Pixel 7 has an eSim made me no longer want eSim. I want my phone and its service to be as self service as possible, and managing my own sim seems to be my best option.

I mean, technically an eSim is just a QR code provided to you by your provider, just like they provide you a SIM card. None of their fucking business whether your device supports it.

The Pixel does support eSim and QR code setup.

T-Mobile will only support QR code setup for Samsungs and iPhones, though. You have to call in if you have a Pixel.

The QR codes aren't tied to any brand. Next time just tell them it's a Samsung phone.

[–] droans@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They are for T-Mobile. I tried using it on my Pixel; it didn't work.

Okay, that sounds like a Tmobile problem, not an eSIM problem.
