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?

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?

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.

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.

Please let us know if you are successful with this. eSIM is launching tomorrow for iPhone but it's unclear how many carriers are going to give out QR codes instead of a specific app. Truphone for example, seems they'll use an app for eSIM provisioning.
In the case of Pixel what we need at the moment is a QR code but we don't know if the first QR codes will be iPhone specific or will work with Pixel too.

You right! I actually called Verizon and they have no clue what is eSim lol. I had to explain to them what is it. But I thought it's a waste of time to be dealing with this at the moment.

Well, if tomorrow they come out with QR eSIM provisioning then they may just work with Pixel given the whole thing is a GSMA standard. I swap SIMs often because of travel and I'm super interested in this. Project Fi eSIM is very nice but too limiting because of Fi.

So I went in today and they did infact have the blue sim card pak with the QR Code...However the rep told me that ATT has asked them not to provision customers yet, to wait for a few days. I wanted to know if these would work only on the new iphones but the guy was pretty adamant that they had tested these on a pixel 3 and they work fine. He also confirmed an ATT esim management app will be available. I don't know if he was just trying to placate me and get me out of the store or what, but he took my number and email address so I could be informed when I can come in again to make it work. I guess I'll try again in a few days. Bummer too, since I have to travel in a couple of weeks and I would've liked the dual sim functionality for international use.

This probably just an iOS eSIM management app. Android 9.0 has the APIs to create such apps but the only phone which I know supports them is Pixel 3 (maybe 2s too?) So very few people atm to warrant an app on Android

Hello there. Multiple reports of people successfully activating eSIM with a QR code on ATT on their iPhones.. Let us know if QR codes work on Pixel 3 too!

Seems all three USA carriers fizzled out on launch date and are holding off eSIM for later this year... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209096

Clearly the big 3 see this as a disadvantage somehow and ATT decided to pull back when the other two did. Voicemail excuse is BS.
TMobile flat out said they are working on it. Verizon came out with some secondary line CDMA bs, like if they hadn't had months to figure it out.
Now what?
Wait and see I guess. Don't think I'll be using dual sim on my upcoming trip :s
The 4g variant is supposed to have esim yet I do not see anything in the settings to allow adding a new service.. Any clue about esim functionality?
I do not believe the U.S. version of the Galaxy Fold supports dual-sim; it only has one sim and it uses a nano-sim. Have you called AT&T to find out if there is in fact eSim support?
It definitely has an esim, you can see it imei in about phone.
Edit* That said i don't know how to use it.

To activate it you would need to call your carrier and provide the eSim IMEI number to them. The phone may support eSim but AT&T itself might not. I'd like to know though if they do coz' that's the only reason why I haven't purchased that phone yet. Other specs I read mentions both eSim and Nano Sim and calls it "Dual Sim" but for some reason for the Folds Best Buy and AT&T only labels it as "Single Sim". Samsungs USA website does the same thing but their international sites identifies the phone as eSim and Nano sim capable.
I believe all Fold LTE versions has the same hardware and only difference are carrier supported features.

I know they don't plan on releasing the 5G version in the U.S. and only the LTE version but you are probably correct with your statement. The U.S. LTE version could be the same as the ones they are releasing across the world and supports dual sim but AT&T might not just support it. I guess will know for sure when someone calls AT&T's support and attempts to enable the eSim feature. I personally got mixed answers from reps at the stores as they are not too familiar with the Fold's feature yet. If it was a cheap phone I'd probably still try and take my chances but for a $2,000 phone I'd like to know for sure first that I can use the eSim and Nano sim on it and have two lines running before buying one.
We got our answer! Published just hours ago at PCMag: https://sea.pcmag.com/smartphones/34287/samsung-galaxy-fold
"The Samsung Galaxy Fold is available unlocked directly from Samsung Experience stores and some Best Buy locations, as well as locked to AT&T from some carrier stores. It works on all US networks and supports LTE bands 2/4/5/7/12/13/14/25/26/30/38/41/66/71. There's a nano SIM slot as well as an eSIM, though Samsung states the eSIM is only compatible with European carriers at this time"

It won't hurt nor will it mess up your phone to try. T-mobile supports eSim for both postpaid and prepaid customers, Verizon supports it for postpaid, and AT&T (I believe) supports it for both prepaid and postpaid too. But since AT&T carries the Fold there may be a chance that it won't work with them. All they need is the IMEI of the eSim chip anyway, and all you need to do is provide it to them. If their systems accepts it then good but if not then you simply just continue using your nano sim.

Looks like you didn't understand the thread or didn't read the PCMag article. The quote was accurate because it was referring to the U.S. version of the phone. You bought the U.K. version and that indeed is a dual-sim phone.
I actually personally verified that at a Best Buy store in the U.S. When I checked the network settings the eSim feature is grayed out. It is showing an IMEI but is grayed out and cannot be activate. I also got to touch the Singapore version which is a dual sim version like yours and that didn't have the eSim grayed out.

Well the article doesn't market to techies but normal people that would be buying the phone so it referred to the facts and facts are never wrong.
But I agree with you, the hardware is there and they are just greedy to not allow the eSim to be used. Where is that thread you said you created because I've been researching that method for quite sometime now and didn't find any? I don't even know a single person that has successfully flashed it and even went to Asian cellphone stores that does phone repairs and they couldn't flash the fold. I would love to read that thread if what you're saying is true.

I didn't say the many people were in that thread. The instructions I was referring to were the actually activating the esim once you have the options available. And I said off jump out the box att doesn't (although 2 ppl did say it was active out the box for them) but if you flash it should open it up. And I didn't time frame when I made the post. I did make it before I seen this thread. But in either way the time it was made is irrelevant. All I was saying was that I had made one.

Do you know if there is any change in the eSIM information for the F900U units in the US? Some conflicting information. Not sure, if flashing unlocked firmware enables it.
hello, anyone flashed the international firmware & got the e-SIM option rolling?
Hey, I didn't find any direct answer for it so I'll ask here
Does the 4g exynos 990 galaxy s20 version will suppprt eSim?
Thanks!
Yes.
All S20 series |Hybrid SIM + e-sim compatible
You can use:
SIM card in Slot 1, micro SD storage in Slot 2
SIM Card in Slot 1, SIM card in Slot 2
SIM card in Slot 1, micro SD storage in Slot 2 + E-SIM
Devices allow you have up to Dual SIM (you cannot operate 3 SIM functionality)

Interesting, I don't have that option in my phone.
Contacted Samsung's support and they said it will be added on future updates, maybe it was released already on some regions while not yet in others
quote from Samsung's customer support:
"Yes. this feature will be added later on with the updates. "

i would take what Samsung support tells you with a grain of salt. they'll say anything to get you off the line
100% agree on this.

Hey, I managed to make my eSim (G980F) working on the phone by factory resetting when a greek sim is inserted, apparently esim is not supported in my country (probably due to interests of the operators) so it was blocked by software.
note to the people who have multi-csc rom -> if you want to enable features that appear in other countries all you need is to factory reset while your phone have a sim from this country, after rebooting it will ask you if you want to change the country of the phone and it'll change the CSC. no root/ flashing required
note that inserting a sim from a overseas operator WITHOUT formatting will not make the same effect - and your CSC will still remain the original one.
in order to know what features are enabled in each csc of the multi CSC mode you can see the file: /optics/configs/carriers/<your CSC>/conf/cscfeature.xml
those files have readonly access (without root permission), but I assume that if you do have root you will be able to enable/disable features by editing the file
good luck
I switched to US Mobile to get Verizon because my friend also has a 7T on UsMo vzw; however, he has the global version and I have the TMo version. At that point I had figured the hardware was the same, but I can't even get past US Mobile's iemi check to activate my phone on Verizon. I've checked some other mvnos and the same thing keeps happening.... IMEI is not supported.
1. What mvno has anybody actually had their Timo(HD1907) version activated on Verizon?
If so, did it require any trickery?
2. My buddy has a Glaxy S10 on Verizon proper. Could I use his IMEI to activate the Sim and then just put the Sim in my 7t?

Assuming the 1907 has the necessary bands for VZW then yes this should work. I often just ask for the IMEI of verizon craigslist sellers then input that into the VZW website portal to get activated. I actually have a small collection of them, as acquiring one in store from a display unit doesnt usually work anymore since those are blacklisted for store use only.

Good idea! I wound up using wife's IMEI and it worked.
So that means it comes with esim?
EDIT: correction: 11 global variant has eSim. My apologies.
Afaik OP hasn't yet ventured into eSim. iPhone so far ahead of everyone else...

Nope...bunch of android phone support esim including Oneplus 11(global version), Pixel, Galaxy etc.
Esim is ok..but if you get a new phone.. that dont offer esim , it kinda sucks. Now you have to go to cell company and transfer esim to a sim card . I had esim on pixel 6 pro
That's not what I posted.
Other brands have but not to the extent of iPhone - where you can juggle many eSim profiles simultaneously, it's why I still use it in addition to Android.
As far as OnePlus 11 I haven't found a single confirmation. Even OnePlus forums state no.

I like the way iPhone handles it. Simultaneously I had capped base plan and added free monthly trials from T-Mobile and Verizon. In settings you can designate which carrier is primary for call&text, which one for Data.
You can store over dozen e-Sim profiles, enable or disable at will...

eSIM in OP11 is.
even the help in the smartphone mentions it and informs you that if you activate the eSIM, the second SIM slot is no longer active.
Simply eSIM replaces SIM2.
Edit:
I added screenshots showing that eSIM in OP11 is and is doing well
BTW - I don't have my traditional SIM card inserted yet, because after the initial "play" with OP11, I will probably reset it to factory settings and root it.

Really?!
With a physical SIM card I can swap it between any phones however and when I like. With a eSIM card you are a slave to your cellular provider. And good luck restoring your eSIM number if you left your country.

So OnePlus Store doesn't present it based on Location.
I stand corrected, and very grateful for your detailed reply!
I hoping that their will be alot of development for OnePlus 11 and I want to see for myself how esim works and how easy it is switch companys

There won't be. OppoPlus has again locked the MSM Tool behind a technician login so the risk of having a brick is unacceptably high. It will be just like all phones since the 9 Pro - little, if any development. Developers are moving away from OnePlus en masse.
I'm going to be moving to the OP11 from OP7T - even though it has eSIM/SIM - does it allow you specify a ringtone for each of the SIMs? This is the reason I moved back to my OP7T from the Pixel 7 Pro, now I have (1) expensive paper-weight sitting on my desk and hoping the OnePlus 11 will have this option like my OnePlus 7T.
This is from the OnePlus 11 Specs Page
eSIM - Yes
Dual SIM - Yes (Dual nano-SIM slot)
I'm about to set up a new OP11 but I don't want to use eSIM. I'd rather have two physical SIMs. When you start setup I don't see an option to disable eSIM. I don't want to insert my SIM to learn, that I won't be able to go back or cancel this operation. What do I do?
