Hi All,
I bought a new pixel 3 xl from Telus in Canada. All phones here are unlocked. I'm trying to find out the EID for esim, but cant find it anywhere. It's not on the box, and when I go to settings, about phone, it shows as "unknown."
When I go to settings --> connections, and go to carrier settings, it shows an option to add a carrier, but then the QR screen pops up. Where the heck can I get the EID of this device?

I think that 'unknown' means it's disabled like in the Verizon model. What did the carrier say when you called them?

I bought the phone outright and unlocked, and was told that the outright phones have a Telus SKU. I’m not with Telus though. No one there has an idea what I’m talking about.
On the Verizon ones, they’re still able to see the “add carrier” option? I would’ve thought that only shows up if device had an esim.
Suppose it’s disabled, is there any work around? Rooting the phone? Flashing a different region rom? I’m coming from Samsung so I’m new to pixel devices. In Samsung, they had CSC and you could change that. Is that similar in pixels?

No. I have a Verizon with add carrier but there is no eid so it's useless. I went through all of this with them last week. No plans to enable it either.
I'm not sure about rooting since I can't do that anyway.
I have P3 XL purchased from Google store France and eid is also unknown. Maybe its normal?

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know. I called Verizon and they said my eid is unknown but I don't even have that entry on the device. Where exactly do you see eid unknown?

Have you tried scanning a QR code for another carrier? What happens?
I am fairly certain, that the ESIM needs to be active in order to see the EID on the phone.
I use Google Fi on ESIM, and when I am using the SIM from AT&T the EID is always 'unknown', it only becomes viewable when the ESIM is active.
And for the record, my EID is printed on my box, it is labled as ESIM ID:

So I don't have the EID printed on the box. It's also a catch 22. If esim needs to be active, then I need to scan a QR code. That will only provision and register if I provide my EID to the provider. How will I activate the esim without the EID?

Ive had AT&T SIM for several phones, just take it from one to the other when I get a new phone, pop it in and away I go.
Activated ESIM on Fi shortly after finishing the setup/restore.

When I try to scan a code, it says "setup not complete. Unfortunately, something went wrong and no phone number was added. To activate service, contact your carrier for help." When I click on OK, it takes me back to the carrier page.

I see. But you need to call your actual carrier that you want to activate the esim on I think. They'll give you the QR code. I wonder if you bought a crippled Pixel seeing that BB sold it. That would suck. Who is your provider? Do they support esim?
Esim atm are only supported on Canadian carriers with an iPhone.
No other device is supported at this time. As far as I'm aware

Sure, that's fair...but at the same time, I want to make sure my phone is not crippled and doesn't even have an ESIM. As long as it has an ESIM, I may keep it. When I travel overseas, many other carriers offer esim, so then I can switch back and forth between the esim and my canadian SIM without physically removing my Canadian sim.

How are you going to make sure?
Guys, I called Google support and they gave me an EID over the phone after looking up my IMEI. Can someone verify if their EID on the box is 19 digits? When I look at my iphone, the EID there is 32 digits, so I'm kind of confused if it should be 19 digits or 32. The guy from support insists that is the EID of my phone in their database. Thanks

Why not try to activate it, as a test, with a provider? Ask them if you can test service for 24 hours or 5 minutes for that matter. They might. But the larger question I see is why in the heck would you want to mess around with the single standby device Pixel 3 when you have a dual standby device in your iPhone? Nonetheless, if you don't have an EID on the box then I'm not sure what you have. Can you unlock the oem switch in developer options? If you can't then I'd say you have a crippled device like the Verizon model. If you can then you can probably use your eSim.
And btw, Google support is totally lame. Call again and you'll get a different answer.

Is this simlocked to one specific network that isn't the one you want to use it on, or is it blacklisted ie. someone sold you the device but they ddin't pay their bill with the carrier, etc. ?

Its open to all carrier.
Yup that person didnt pay bill
Was wondering if there is a solution to this..

Hmm... let's check your IMEI and find out if it's a ban on your IMEI - you're asking me about both sims, do you have a dual-sim phone? Go here https://www.imeipro.info/ put in your IMEI for the phone - (not the iMSI for the sim) Have you already tried the phone with a sim from a different carrier than the one you believe it's blacklisted with? This should be able to tell us if there's a blanket ban on your IMEI or if it was just something carrier specfiic.

Status is clean.. All other carriers are blocked as well
Seems like its locked based on the imei nationwide
Greetings. Just an FYI for all of you. Since the changing of the IMEI is prohibited in many countries for obvious reasons, XDA does not condone this discussion as well.
Best advice would be to contact the carrier, pay off the phone, and call it a day.

Well, if it is IMEI-blocked by T-mobile because it was stolen or lost, the information may be shared with your Vietnamese carrier, and it will fail to work in Vietnam.
Before you buy a used phone, make sure it has a clean IMEI.

You may have several options if the IMEI block is the reason.
Ask T-Mobile to recover your phone and remove the IMEI block. Only the original owner who is a T-Mobile subscriber can do it.
Use it as a WiFi-only device.
Sell it for parts/repair.
Buy a new phone and make sure it has a clean IMEI and is SIM unlocked.

Well, it is locked by the cell towers. There is nothing you can do if that device was stollen and locked. This is probably the only example when tower lock it justified. There is practically nothing you can do to spoof your IMEI (not saying that is a crime), and no cell tower will let you in with this IMEI.

I think it's better to return the phone to the seller, asking for a refund. The IMEI record clearly shows that it is a lost or stolen phone.

Can anyone confirm that they have the le2127 model and was able to get dual sim working even after flashing it to the global ROM ?
I just went through all of the steps and converted my le2127 t-mobile version of the 9 pro, only to find out that there is no dual sim functionality. All of the other older OP phones have it.
I do see the pins in there for 2 sim cards but I can't get it to work.

Also, when I check the IMEI's using *#06# only one imei is shown. At one point during the updates, to android 12 especially, two empty sim slots did show up but, both had the same IMEI #. Upgraded to 13 and now only one IMEI. I do see pins in there for dual sims so this is a very confusing phone out of the 4 Oneplus phones I own.
So I need to get this figured out before my return window closes.

Ok no worries
You've more than likely thought of the below, however if you haven't
Possible approaches to find both IMEI numbers
Does the tmo variant actually have 2 imei numbers?
Did you backup any of your phone before modifying?
What info did you have to submit to tmo, so that you could unlock the bootloader.
The vendor you bought it from, if official may have a record of your imei numbers
Have you used Sims on both slots of the phone? If so your Telco will have a record of the IMEI against the call.
There maybe a simplified approach, I'm sure someone else may also be able to help
Did you get it with any paperwork?
Was there an imei sticker on the back of the phone?

I guess to sum it up now with those questions. I do remember that when I applied for the unlock.bin I had to provide the IMEI number(s). And I remember there only being one through *#06#. Plus the sticker that was on the back, which I have, states only one IMEI number.
On top of that. Last night I did some more flashing. And I flashed the EU version to see what would happen. Well two IMEI numbers showed up. BUT, thwy were the exact same IMEI number.
So I think it's safe to say, and from reading other articles last night that, either the second slot(if really there), is blocked by the software or the extra set of pins inside are just not connected to the main board.
Unfortunately, I have given up on the idea of trying to get dual sim out of the TMO variant. I had read on the Oneplus forums last night of people complaining about this exact problem. And their conclusions are basically what I just said. They have given any hope of this phone having any chance of dual sim activity.
Apparently when TMO first advertised the phone they advertised it as dual sim. But the next day their ad was changed to say that it was only a single sim phone. And that seems t be the case here.
People have also said that anything made after the 8T, will not have dual sim anymore on Oneplus phones. esim/nano sim is apparently the future
But thanks everybody for all your help. It was fun but ... you have to cut your losses at some point.
And too bad for Oneplus. This is really going to backfire on them.

Update: Duh ... I just looked at the back of the phone for the first time while packing it up, lol !! And there is an IMEI printed on the back cover. Only ONE IMEI ! It was being hidden behind the sticker that was on it. And I never bothered to look.
It's good that you've got to the bottom of it!!
Would you consider looking at the other models NA, Global and Eur checking which bands you need.
If you then find the one that suits, you can always give that a go and have 2 Sims.

No I didn't. I went through reading about it and thought the risks outweighed the chances of it being successful. So I returned the phone unfortunately. But those phones only have one IMEI # and what this method does is use the same IMEI and just adds a zero or two at the end. It's not a long term solution.
