PLEASE STOP FOLLOWING IN APPLE'S FOOTSTEPS

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.
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.
