Hello,
I attempted to activate esim on t-mobile postpaid that did not go anywhere even though others have activated esim on pixel 3 before the t-mobile ban on postpaid accounts. T-mobile has stopped enabling esim on postpaid accounts for unknown reasons. It only enables esim on certain prepaid accounts and only on iphones.
Any other experiences with t-mobile or other carriers?
Confirmed working on Fi.

T-Mobile requires you use there app for esim. The iPhone is the only one that supports it at the Momment
I have T-Mobile and I was able to get the eSim activated on the 3a Xl . All I did was tell them I wanted to do a sim card swap and I provided the EID number. Took them a few minutes and they were done. BTW this was on a Postpaid account.

Phone call or chat? I had no luck with chat.
Did you use the full esim number - that is a very long number. Trying to duplicate your effort.
Thanks

called t-mobile and gave them the full esim number. Then uses this guide. Works great!
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/a4507u/esim_works_heres_how_to_activate/
I got it activated on my Pixel 3a XL through chat. They asked me why I was changing sims, and I just told them I wanted to try out esim. They said ok and did the swap. I'm postpaid.
It's easier through chat because of the long EID number.

I guess I've had really bad luck because I have not been able to get esim activated with chat twice. That's the way it goes we'll try again. It is hit and miss.
Thanks guys for the information. Did another chat this morning asking for sim activation. Did not mention esim. Completed in about 2 minutes did not even have to reboot my phone. Nice. I can use the physical sim slot for something else now.

Generally curious as I am new to the Android side of things. What can you use the SIM slot for if you do esim? What is the benefit outside of saying you don't need a physical SIM?

I use an ATT MVNO Sim when I am not in a t-mobile area which is rare. I don't need two phones any more. One can do the same for the latest iPhone.
Actually there are other phones that have two sims like one plus, but two sim phones are rare in the USA but common in other countries. It has to do with the carriers. It would really nice if this feature discussed on the link below is included in android Q.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...s-half-baked-dual-sim-support-to-the-pixel-3/
So two sims phones hopefully will become the norm in the USA since iPhone has this option and everyone copies Apple. Anyway I could be wrong but I think the Pixel had the esim before the iPhone.

I'm self employed and having dual sim is huge for me, no more having to carry two phone is big. This implementation sucks compared to real dual sim where you can have both active but it's still ahead of packing two phones around.

So at the moment, does your Pixel have DSDS capability? And if not (or before you enabled that functionality), are you at least able to take advantage of the physical sim slot by selecting it under network settings as the preferred option when you want to use the ATT network rather than the esim?
I had been using OnePlus phones with their dual SIM functionality for a long time by always keeping a T-Mobile SIM in one while using my China Mobile SIM in the other during my frequent trips into China. This enables me to keep a local number and avoid the internet censorship that is increasingly prevalent is most areas of the country.

Thanks for replying. However, I didn't really get an answer to what I was looking for. I had also previously read the article in Android Police and I know what DSDS is. My previous OnePlus operated as such. The article suggests that DSDS is no longer an option unless you elected it in an earlier beta release. HOWEVER, I only want to know whether you are able to choose one or the other between your eSIM and your physical SIM slot? You will not get both signals at the same time. I understand that. But I'm just interested to see if I can elect via Settings to choose either the eSIM or a separate SIM card and use that one only.
With respect to the contents of the evil42.com article, I fortunately don't have those problems. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for confirming!
my green ultra came today.
First thing, no sim card, and they don't give you any instructions on how to activate the built in e-sim or get the EID and calling tech support was useless (I'm coming from a oreo note 9 so a lot of this is new to me, so don't make fun of me please). I got a $50 bill credit for calling and complaining about that cause they said I couldn't put my old sim in (whatever, i went with them, all i know is these are dual sim phones cause you can put a physical sim in the slot and have 2 numbers, they verified that)
A lot of settings from oreo are missing.
Edge lighting wont let you assign different visuals/colors to different apps
there's no secure boot where you have to enter a password to boot (which pisses me off cause i like that much more security.)
it's a fast phone, the screen is GREAT.
i have to restore all my apps now and get it back to the way i want and see how things go.
I guess going from 8.1 to this version of 12 is going to be a learning curve for me.
No oem unlock in dev options either
Im getting irritated
smartswitch keeps freezing and wont transfer my apps
I've never had to jump through hoops for any phone like this.
I guess I'll have to manually do this but the 45W charger took like 15 mins to go from 25 to 100 so there's that i guess
The secure boot was removed a while back (didn't have it in N20U and S21U). I'm eagerly waiting for mine to be ready for pickup at BestBuy to see how it goes. From what I've read SD devices are not showing the issues EX devices are.
I havent had any of the EX problems.
I just want a real sim and not the ESIM they set me up with (they're sending me a free real sim)
I explained that i switch phones and if this one breaks I want to beable to use my backup.
Tmobile is turning more into sprint since the merger

An email was set to the email account on record detailing how to get eSIM up and running. I, as well as a few people I know, all received that email in the past few days leading up to delivery of our S22 Ultras.
I got no such email, just status updates on my order and then the tracking number.
I ordered a tmo unit too. No email. I'm just gonna pop my sim from my fold3 in it and call it a day. Definitely odd how f'd up the tmo activation thing is though.

I still have to set it up, and Im still irritated its a esim cause now when i get up in 3 hours to work out I cant plop a sim back in my note 9 to watch movies when i do cardio. I cant wait til the sim card comes they sent today so I can get back to being able to swap phones when I need to.

That's main reason I was glad I migrated from Sprint to T-mobile so I feel your pain, it's so convenient with the physical Sim. Hopefully I get mine phone tomorrow, items on my order from Samsung looks like it does include new Sim.

holy F, i just found a 5g sim from when my dads A32 broke in december after 6 days and I just reused his old one but kept the new one.
Gonna go activate it now and get off this esim garbage. that way i'll be good for plex tomorrow!
WTF?
my phone shows up on tmobile as a 256MB burgandy
it's a 512 green
God, they are turning into sprint
got my sim in and activated, but the esim1 still says its active but on a unknown carrier with my phone number..
i probably should reboot. i did the sim while the phone was on

Could you run Geekbench 5 benchmark and see what the score it? My T-Mobile model is pretty poor after I've spent hours setting it up might just end up flashing the U1 firmware and see if its any better.

Let’s get your phone on our network
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S22!
You'll need to set up the eSIM on your new phone to experience our best network yet. Here's how:
Make sure you have an available Wi-Fi connection and a computer or another device to scan a QR code:
•After opening your box and powering on your new phone, hold the volume DOWN button for 5 seconds which is located on the top right side of the phone to bypass the need for a Physical SIM
•Click “Start” and Agree to the Terms
•Click “Next” to connect Wi-Fi
•Skip the phone set up instructions so we can focus on completing your eSIM setup. For detailed instructions, visit: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/samsung-esim-to-esim-first-time-use. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to revisit the phone setup after your eSIM is set up
It’s now time to set up your eSIM. Starting from your home screen, follow the steps below:
•Open your dialer and dial *#06# to locate your EID number
•Once you have your EID written down, activate your eSIM by contacting Customer Care (611)
•Once activated, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager
•Click “Add Mobile Plan / eSIM”
•Two options to activate:
Scan the QR Code found at: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/t-mobile-esim#heading4
Enter Activation Code
SM-DP+ Address: T-MOBILE.GDSB.NET
Activation code:
Confirmation code:
After scanning or entering the code, your eSIM set up is complete! Your phone will reboot and automatically be connected to the T-Mobile network. You can follow the phone setup instructions and transfer your data from your existing phone.
Enjoy your new Samsung Galaxy S22!
I have a Canadian model Galaxy S22 Ultra (Snapdragon) and have an issue with how Samsung handles dual SIM set-up.
Here's my screen under Settings - SIM Card Manager.
https://imgur.com/a/1TjegB4
I want the Bell SIM (physical SIM) to handle most data-intensive tasks, but the Shaw one (eSIM) to handle SMS/MMS/RCS Messaging. It seems that if I set Bell as my Primary SIM, then the Shaw one won't allow MMS or RCS Messaging. It tells me to switch my primary SIM to Shaw if I want to do that.
It's been a while since I had a dual SIM Android phone but I don't recall having similar issues in the past. I don't think it's an APN thing either as these features work if only one SIM is available.
Any ideas? Apparently non-North American units have a more typical SIM Card Manager settings app that lets you specify which SIM is for data and which is for calls.
Maybe a regional Settings difference......?
My Note20 ultra (snapdragon) has more options in this regard:
Any idea if it's possible to get the SIM Card Manager APK from your phone? I doubt it would work but it's worth a try.
Someone in the Reddit thread I made about this mentioned it was indeed a North American thing.
Try either of these - see if it works......
(couldn't find a "SIM card manager".apk file)
Darn. The SIM Toolkit app won't install as it says the Package is invalid,and the SIMMobilityKit one just wouldn't install.
If someone with an S22 Ultra Snapdragon unit outside of North America could try, maybe that'll work
You could try flashing a non-North American stock Snapdragon ROM (e.g. China/ Thailand/ Korea)?
Anyone with a non-North American Snapdragon Galaxy S22 able to extract the SIM Manager app? Don't feel comfortable flashing a foreign ROM in case I brick ny phone or trip Knox
Looks like this is a more complex issue than what I thought. It's not a specific APK that's accessed when accessing the SIM Card Manager. Pulling a logcat reveals a process called "NU.SimCardManagerUtils"
Why Samsung cripples North American phones by limiting functionality of Dual SIM mode is beyond me (well OK, it's likely the carriers, but still.....)

FWIW there's pretty much no chance of tripping knox by flashing a signed fw and not unlocking the bootloader (not like you can anyways)
I am also curious at this and probably won't get to try flashing until my 2nd S22U arrives
I believe for some carriers Talk/Text/Data have to be on the same SIM card to make RCS work.

I would happily disable RCS to get better control over SIM card usage, but I don't think that's the case. RCS is supposed to be network agnostic, well except maybe AT&T where they just flat out hijack RCS.
I really truly wonder why anyone would still use that ****ty carrier tbh.
Yeah,this goes beyond RCS. Even downloading MMS messages from the non-Primary SIM won't work,and I've had no issues on iPhones or other Android devices. Even someone in my original Reddit post commented they can do it with an International phone (admittedly a Note 20, but it appears Samsung has been crippling the North American phones ever since they finally gave us eSIM.
Sadly I'm not a developer, so even if I flashed my phone with a ROM from a different region and compared logcat output from opening the same screen, I likely wouldn't understand what the differences are or what it's actually asking.
The s22 is different to my prior s21 in this way too. Before you could independently choose which sim did voice, data and SMS. Now it's one sim or the other for all three.
Wait, really? Were both from the same region?
If so, sounds like we'll have to try pressuring Samsung to put it back (however feeble that might be).

I actually think it's simpler the new way. Otherwise I had to toggle three items every time I switched sim.

Sadly no.
I am convinced Samsung is doing this in the Americas due to some backdoor deals with the carriers. The carriers do not want us to be able to use different sims for different things. They want you to have to purchase one expensive plan from them. This is the most compelling thing pushing me back towards the Pixel 6 Pro. Glad I still have it.
To overcome the MMS on the non-primary sim, I had to install a third-party messaging app. Pulsesms. I would rather use google messages.
For the phone calls, I just installed google dialer which lets you select the primary calling account (sim).
I have half a mind to file a complaint with my state's consumer protection board. It doesn't seem right that they can place these kinds of restrictions on US handsets, even if you buy it unlocked.

How do you mean "overcome mms in non primary via third party"? The problem is the non primary can't be used for data, and mms requires data.
The main problem here is use of data. Default sim for calling and texting can be set per contact thru the Samsung phone app. But data can't be switched to non primary. That's what there's no workaround for right now.

What I am saying is, that when I use pulsesms as my SMS app, it is able to send MMS using either number. I don't know how it does it, but it does.
With the google phone app, you can pick a sim card as the default for all contacts.
Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to use 2 eSIMs at the same time, without having any physical SIM inserted?
Currently I can only get it to use SIM2 for my eSIMs.
Kind regards
From what i am seeing, yes, you can setup 2 eSIMs on the device, but since there are two IMEIs, the SIM tray cannot be used then
No, MEP doesn't appear to be supported.
We can register any number of e-SIMs. However, only one can be active at a time.

In addition, you can use a SIM card together with eSIM and both are active at a time. turned out to work well for me.
You can use:

Hello guys. I'm awaiting my eSIM code from my phone provider shortly and I'd like to ask a question (since I'm new to modding eSIM phones) if eSIM is saved in a designated read-only chip.
Example: I'm currently in an unsupported for Google country (where they neither sell Pixels nor support 5G, only VoLTE/WiFi) and would like to flash Calyx into the phone (and also patch ModemFix to unlock 5G capabilities in my country) at some point; Will I lose my eSIM profile? It will cost to retain my number back (10 euros for a new profile). Thank you for your answers!

What do you mean by that? Even if wiping your device removes the eSIM number (which it should), can't you just re-enter the number again? These aren't tied to devices, you should be able to use them in as many devices as you want (not simultaneously, of course).

Pretty sure that it's one time code; Once you download it, it's gone. That's what I know.
Another issue is that I can't physically use my sim because it doesn't work anymore, so my option is to go with an esim or a physical card. And I already have physical card in place...

Yup, you seem to be right. Not sure where I got this information from that an eSIM code can be used as many times as you want.
If you know you'll be tinkering with your device a fair bit, I'd recommend you try to use a physical SIM card. Even if there is a way to carry your once registered eSIM through ROMs, should you brick your device at some point or apply an upgrade that wipes your eSIM, you'll be SOL.
That being said, I've not carried an eSIM registration through multiple ROMs, so I'm none the wiser.
Thank you for correcting me on the reusability of eSIM codes though!

No problem. That being said, I can order a physical card so I can also manually enable 5G capabilities (because in order to get the 5G patch in place, I have to use a spare 5G certified device by my provider to be able to access 5G speeds, I happen to have spare phones).
And in the future, I'll be switching to eSIM because yeah; idk if it will even stay on the phone after completely wiping it. Initially I thought it's saved in some chip but whoever knows please let me know.
