Didn’t see it on the list so I added it, but Google Fi has support for eSIMs on iPhone.

I spent a few hours at the Apple Store on the phone to T-Mobile trying to get eSim activated on my new 11 Pro (I had an existing t-mobile eSim for my XS). What a saga! The T-Mobile phone support reps barely have any idea what to do. They said only the stores can help, which at 8:30pm I rushed to before it closed at 9. Finally got it working.

@liczi, that's a pain. Glad it's now working.
 
US Mobile has pre-paid eSIM available now. I updated the first post w/ info below:

US Mobile: Pre-Paid Verizon (Super LTE) & TMO (LTE) MVNO has started offering eSIM on all plans. Super LTE has 5G service, unsure about the TMO/LTE. (If it isn't against the rules to post this, here is my referral link for up to $10 off when you sign up for new service.)

I thought you could not get TMO on esim with US Mobile ?

Perhaps I do not fully understand what it is that you mean. I have two eSIM working at the same time. One of them is T-Mobile Magenta Max, and the other is US Mobile Unlimited.
 
Wow, such convoluted mess. Why do we want this instead of simply putting a physical SIM inside a phone?

I fail to see the logic of eSIM. Unless Apple becomes the provider hosting all the carrier options so user can directly choose carriers via Apple, I don’t see the point of eSIM.
They used the extra space in order to add the additional chips such as satellite connectivity as well as better processors for the camera

There's no need to reply to a post from 2.25 years ago. lol. I think we've all learned this by now.
 
Xfinity Mobile supports ESim now per this linked article:

Looks like you do the activation on their website.

Thanks for this. I checked on Spectrum and they support eSIM on iPhones with plans to roll out to more devices later, according to their site. I just tried it and (not surprisingly) it's having issues. lol. But at least they are trying. It'll get better across the board but it's gonna be painful for a bit.

A few weeks ago Cricket added eSIM support, so I noted the change. It seems to function as seamless as AT&T postpaid.
