Will the eSIM be enabled on the Z Flip 3? I live half the year in the USA and half in Mexico. My current phone, OnePlus 6T, has dual SIM dual standby so when in Mexico I have AT&T Mexico primary and T-Mobile secondary so as not to exceed international roaming on T-Mobile. I currently use zero data while in Mexico, but making/receiving phone calls and text messages to/from the USA from time to time is important.
It is time for a new phone and it looks like Z Flip 3 has both eSIM and nano SIM. However, I have heard that for the US market the eSIM is disabled by firmware at the request of carriers including T-Mobile. Is this true, or, not?
It looks like my best choice if the eSIM is disabled is to switch to Google Project Fi. I am not an Apple user. I suspect the Google Pixel 6 might also be a solution, but is is a few months away.
