Hi guys,
I am living in non-supported country according to Google however, I managed to get German eSIM and my original, local eSIM.
Just then I've realized that all tutorials about attaching eSIM to watch requires my phone to be attached to it first, but OnePlus 9 doesn't support it... so... do you happen to know any workaround for it?
It is not dependent on your phone having an eSIM. But what you need to have is a SIM in your phone from a supported carrier: https://support.google.com/googlepixelwatch/answer/12652073
Else you won't have the option to install the eSIM on your watch. You just need it for scanning the QR-Code for your watch, then you can insert your original unsupported SIM into your phone.
I have the same setup. Oneplus 9 Pro. Orderd a Vodafone UK SIM on Ebay and with it in my phone installed the eSIM from my carrier on my watch. Only problem i can't edit the APN on the watch and the APN from my provider isn't recognized by default. So i have no LTE data on the watch, just calls.

so you think I can have 2 different numbers from supported carrier (1 prepaid, 1 esim) and then load 1 esim from my local carrier? I mean, I insert 1 prepaid from supported carrier, than load esim from supported carrier, than replace supported esim with local esim? Or I am one step too far?
also, what do you mean by "i can't edit the APN on the watch and the APN from my provider isn't recognized by default". What APNs watch has saved?

Yes you can load a "phone esim" on the watch. But it has not been tested for very long.
You only need to insert supported carrier sim in your phone then you can load your local carrier on the watch. No need to load the supported carrier on the watch first. If your carrier sets APN automatically by just inserting sim-card in your phone the watch supports it. If your carrier makes you setup APN manually on your phone you wont get LTE to work on the watch only calls and text will work.

I got a Vodafone UK SIM today. And I found it can roam to my region (Hong Kong). And I made my eSim from a local carrier work on my Pixel Watch.
I think it won't work if the SIM can't roam to your region because the option to scan QR code didn't appear until the Vodafone SIM connected.

For me it didn't need an active connection on the Vodafone SIM. How i understand it, is that it even works if the SIM isn't activated at all but then you need to have another active Internet connection (WiFi).
Not all the supported carriers can activate the QR Code method, I tried the Softbank(Japan) sim(non-activated), and it just keeps connnecting to the Softbank server, so it failed. I will try the AU sim later.
And I have another sim from Taiwan Mobile which is also non-activated, it just went to the QR Code page without any problem.
Just got a Vodafone UK eSIM(€$ 8.5) from an online travel sim retailer on Shopee Taiwan, will try it on another Pixel tomorrow.
Also ordered a Vodafone DE sim from the same retailer too, waiting for delivery.
The Pixel Watch also support FeliCa, so you can use a Japanese sim + Google Japan account to add the Mobile Suica to Gpay in it.

It depends on the sim's ICCID, DE/UK is started with 8949/8944, I will know if they're goog or not when I get them.
Just make sure the sim is issued by Vodafone DE/UK, not from 3rd party roaming sim retailer, otherwise the ICCID will be different.
Update: the eSIM I bought in Taiwan is from Vodafone UK, the ICCID is correct and worked as expected

I ordered an unlocked brand new Nexus 5X through my uncle from US. I got it today when I put my SIM inside it, it reads it but says no service. I went to my local carrier office but they don't know what the problem is my sim works fine in another phone. please help.
P.S My friend ordered one too we both have the same problem and I live in Pakistan.
why are you ordering US versions instead of the international version?
Enter the APN settings in manually for the carrier you are using.
I am using US version in Bangladesh perfectly...
From Cellular Networks settings change 'Preferred network type' to 2G and see if it works.
Try any other operator's sim.
Hello everyone, Just would like to know if anyone tried to activate their Pixel 3 XL eSim on T-Mobile? If it's possible, do I need to have a physical sim from a different carrier? Will eSim work overseas when roaming? Thanks

I was able to activate my esim on tmobile when people were going through the 'back door' method of not ever mentioning that they want to activate the esim. There has been threads on Reddit that they are no longer allowing that and that customer service is catching on and no longer allowing activations of esim on tmobile.
You do not need another physical sim from another carrier as your phone will work fine with just tmobile esim. Having that physical sim available will allow you to pretty much go with any other secondary carrier that you want to (just can't use both at once)
As far as the overseas when roaming, that I have to defer to as I don't (or haven't) traveled overseas yet. I would 'imagine' that it would work just as if you had a physical sim in your phone as many European carriers already use esim and is not a new technology over in the European countries.

I haven't noticed any difference in signal.
After 5 or 6 times trying using different methods (Twitter, FB, app/site chat, etc.), I finally convinced a rep to activate my eSIM a couple of days ago. It does take some massaging to get them to agree to it. Most of the time I was told there wasn’t a way to activate on postpaid. In the end, I experienced faster loading times on sites and faster downloads my video and podcast apps.
I am traveling quite a bit between China and Europe and the phone works fine in Asia and when I am in Europe I am using a SIM card from Vodafone the Netherlands.
This works fine in the Netherlands but when traveling in France, Germany, Italy the roaming function does not work. No Data is received or can be transmitted.
Voice etc is fine and all roaming settings are fine too. My CSC settings show OZS_TGY.
Since the SM-N9750D/S is a Snapdragon version I am cautious with loading other firmware although it is unlocked.
Do I need to load other firmware or are the CSC codes the issue? Please help.
Due to the virus outbreak going to Hongkong is not so attractive.

Not 100% sure, but i feel like i remember that i read that you may need to enable data for Sim 2 (assuming that's where the Netherlands sim is)

Thanks for your reply,
Much appreciated.
I tried using both and switched also between Sim 1 and 2 but did not resolve the issue.
I downloaded the TGY firmware and will do a clean reinstall with ODIN. Hope that will help.
But thank you for your input.
also try manual network selection if set on automatic
Dear Raul,
I think I tried all common tricks to get the roaming going.
My idea is that it needs a different CSC code but not sure if this can still be done with ODIN?
Also Samsung feedback is vague on this,
Thank again Raul,

I am using a Dutch Vodafone Sim and Vodafone has some special arrangement with the roaming partners in the rest of Europe.
This might be in the CSC code but my phone is from Hongkong having TGY code. So not sure if this is the reason.
So when you come to Italy all might work without problems.
I could not find a way so far to change or adding CSC codes without rooting.
If some one else knows, please let me know. Would be appreciated.

UPDATE 26 JULY 2020
I am in Italy now and I inserted a Vodafone IT. The phone work fine and I noted that over here I have a 4G+ band aggregation while in USA with my ATT SIM I don't and this is really strange because with my old Note 8 ( N950F DS) I use to have band aggregation and both of the phone have the same bands! Someone can explain?
Maybe an old topic, but I just try ....
I live in the Netherlands, have a SM-G7810 ( S20 FE Snapdragon, original TGY but changed tot CHC due to I need Call-recording). SIM-card is Vodafone Netherlands.
In the Netherlands all works great, data and voice.
When I go to Germany, voice works great, but data is nor working. Ofcourse tried everything in settings.
I did not try it with another SIM-card, so I'm not sure if the issue is only the CHC/TGY original phone in combination with Vodafone, or that it is the phone in general used in Europe with any simcard and try to have data on in roaming.

Hi All,
I just took delivery of the S20+
Mine came with 1 esim, 1 dedicated simcard slot (SIM1)and 1 simcard/sdcard (SIM2) hybrid tray.
went ahead to sign up for esim for the network i use most often.
Now, i have a question. What happens if i factory reset the phone. will the esim "profiles" remain or do i need to drop by the network provider and request another esim activation code?
This is because i have the habit of performing a factory reset on my android phones after a major firmware update, or every 6 months (or if i feel the phone feel sluggish).
Any idea guys? i cant seem to find information on this anywhere. is the esim data stored on the phone data or in the esim itself.
aah.. found it.. if you go to the setting to factory data reset, at the bottom there is a checkbox to select if you want to retain the esim. tick if you do not want to.. and it is unticked by default (keep your esim data)

My unlocked S20+ didn't come with a sim card. I used the Verizon sim card from my S9+ in it. Works perfectly. If you go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for your new phone, they charge you like $40 for activation. I paid nothing.

vodafone UK doesnt support esim on their phones yet (and they didnt sound keen on changing that soon) which is crazy but i think they are afraid people will start using dual networks and they're not happy about that
Glad I bought S20 plus rather then waiting for the ultra version.
More sleek and practical.
Vodafone phones come with esim option also for those who might be wondering.

Nope. Only 2. But u can have both sims and registered esim profile in the phone but at any time only 2 can be active.
To be precise only esim and sim1 or sim1 and sim2. Sim2 can't be used together with esim.

Will be useful to know which variant of s20+ you have there. Samsung released many variants.
Single sim
Dual sim
Dual sim with esim
This 3 in 4g and 5g.
Mine is 4g dual sim with esim.
Sm-g985f/ds
Sim2 slot shares same imei with esim.
So I'm using sim1, microsd card and an esim.
Imei won't show up on settings unless it's active. As in having a sim card in slot 2 or esim profile on.
If u don't have esim set up you'll only see the add mobile plan option if your phone supports esim.

Hi, I have an dual sim card tray in my unlocked NA model, the same model you are referring to. i bought it (dual sim tray)off of Amazon from a link someone posted quite a while back when android 12 was first coming out. There was a thread here with the info at the time. I haven't ever got to use the other sim because at the time they had a few uncertainties. I'm still on a android 11 based custom ROM.

No, even if it WAS flashed to global, I would have to use the T-Mobile msm, which I don't need or use. Also, don't have radio issues using custom ROMs like T-Mobile users have.

No, LE2115 and LE2125 are both single SIM. In fact the T-Mobile LE2127 is a dual SIM device, one of the reasons people were buying it, but it's totally unstable, as it ships with a single SIM tray and the second is disabled.
I received a couple days ago from Amazon my order for OnePlus 9 Pro 5G LE2123 Dual SIM 12GB+256GB EU/UK Model Global ROM Factory Unlocked International Version. After setting it up and done migrating all my files from my OnePlus 8 Pro Model IN 2025 Dual Sim, I am surprised to see that the item I received is the Model LE2125 which is confirmed Dual Sim.
My previous research all said that Model LE2125 is only Single SIM, but here is my newly delivered Model LE2125 and it is indeed Dual SIM and both SIM cards are confirmed working. Can anyone enlighten or confirm that LE2125 is actually not Single SIM?
My primary TMobile card on Sim 1 is working fine and picking up 5G, while my secondary international roaming card on Sim 2 is also working.
Your feedback and input will be appreciated. Thank you much.

So, LE2125 is single sim ONLY. I know because I bought a dual sim tray and put 2 active T-Mobile sims in it and only 1 showed up.
But mine is LE2125 and I was surprised to see that it is in fact DUAL SIM, with dual sim tray and both sim cards are working (I put in my primary US T-Mobile sim in tray 1 and my international roaming sim card in tray 2). I bought the device from Amazon Marketplace used or refurbished.
Please see the 3 screenshots I posted showing the ModeLE2125 with 2 Sims and 2 IMEIs in device settings.

Please see the 3 screenshots I posted showing the ModeLE2125 with 2 Sims and 2 IMEIs in device settings.

I think your software may be LE2125 but its either T-Mobile hardware or EU hardware.
Thank you for your kind observation. But all I can say is that this LE2125 is DUAL SIM with dual sim tray with 2 sim cards working (even my international roaming sim card on sim 2 receives my multiple test sms mesages sent from my US Tmobile number). So, as a hardware this LE2125 is working fine. As far as its sotware is concerned, it's already beyond me how it got into the device.
Thank you anyway for your input.

What I am meaning is, you phone might actually be LE2123 or LE2127 with north American OOS showing LE2125. Software is not hardware specific. Some ROMs will change your model number
Thank you so much for this info, that software is not hardware specific. This info is very new to me as I thought all along that frequency bands on a device is dictated by the physical hardware itself and not assigned via mere software configuration.

It's not the bands that are being spoken of, it's the hardware model shown in the settings. If you have a full conversion device, it's possible to convert from, say, LE2127 T-Mobile to show LE2125 US unlocked instead.
This is likely what happened because T-Mobile devices sell for cheap because nobody wants to deal with the headaches from them.
Thank you for this valuable information. I thought specific device models made for let's say, Europe, China, US have the radio hardware baked in with specific 5G or 4G LTE bands that work in specific regional markets.

They DO have this. Changing your model number with software won't change the bands that are supported, it just can change the model number (which is incredibly stupid as it makes it easy for people to sell a phone as something that it's not).
Wow, thank you again. Yes, it looks like it borders on deceitful practice although it is not illegal.
if u wanna be absolutely sure which model u're getting, check the IMEI number against online database.
it will show u exact model.

I have LE2125, & i can confirm that it's a single sim device.
though i always if there's any way to make dual sim work in this model.
