Hi Guys,
I'm from Sri Lanka
I brought a pixel 6 (G9S9B) it's OEM and bootloader unlocked but when I trying to download a ESIM (In Sri Lanka) with it I got a error.
If anyone help with this, it's highly appreciated
same issue for me too. I'm from Sri Lanka too. I've read some thread similar to this as they all said its on our carrier's hand, however according to them (our carrier) they have address our e-sim profile accurately. Any thoughts? BTW I did even try to add the e-sim profile even after converting to a global version (G9S9B to GB7N6), but no luck. Same result as the OP/my friend here.
You may received an Verizon mobile, which is carrier locked, so it won't accept any other SIM cards.
Try with a physical SIM whether any error message.
However, the number showing in the screenshot belongs to AT&T.
Cheers

AT&T and Verizon both lock the eSIM, rendering the eSIM useless outside of the AT&T or Verizon networks.
You'll have to use a physical SIM, and before you ask, to the best of my knowledge there is no way of unlocking the eSIM.
Wow then I have no solution

And now you know why we tell people not to bother with carrier devices. What you should have done was bought a Japanese Pixel 6, as those have mmwave 5G in addition to sub-6 5G and an unlocked eSIM, once some software mods are made to change it to an international version.
I didn't know that

There is currently no way to unlock the phone for international SIM without being a Sprint customer and having the phone activated on an account.
more info needed

can you explain more regarding having sprint customer?
from a lot of forum threads i'm getting Bias information:
so, It is possible to use GSM international but nobody can do that unless Sprint authorize person do something to the phone or account?
so Unlocked version doesn't exit? or what Unlocked mean on SM-N900P?

the phone can only be unlocked for International SIM cards by Sprint, and for this to be able to be done, the phone has to be activated on a Sprint account. this is the ONLY unlock method currently available for this particular Note 3 model (Sprint variant, SM-N900P)
Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here.
I had a moto e4 plus but I'm ditching it as I've bought a redmi 5 plus 4 /64 (I believe) from eglobal.
The terrible thing is that I don't know which carrier it works on. I didn't do much research. I just read that it was really good for the money so I bought it impulsively.
It's all my fault, I know.
Can anyone be so kind as to tell me what carrier it'll work on? I tried to do it myself but all the different bands and networks and frequencies confused me.
I'm in the USA in Texas, if that helps any.
Thank you in advance.

All those letters and numbers confuse me.
Would you kindly tell me what carriers I'll be able to use with this device?
T-mobile, boost, virgin, etc...

There is a suggestion why don't you borrow sim card from any of your friend and check either it will work or not.
Or you may go to service center and try different carriers.
Redmi 5 Plus supports almost all kind of popular carriers I am from Pakistan and have friends of almost all countries and they use use redmi 5 plus with carriers available at their country.
Regards
The problem is that everyone I know uses Boost mobile so I have no way of testing it on other carriers. I don't think I can test on Boost because they don't use sim cards.
I think I saw on YouTube that I'll be able to use AT&T, cricket wireless and T-mobile. Can anyone confirm?
Ps. I don't actually have the phone yet. Supposed to arrive Thursday.

The global version should work on most popular carriers. I can't say for the US but for the PH, Smart and Globe (carrier duopoly) work perfectly fine and support voLTE
I have tried other forums and I am getting conflicting information.
I am looking for an Android smartphone that is capable of dual SIMs. I know that Apple iPhones can
do this, but I want an Android.
Some places I have read that the software on some smartphones designated for the United States
market have that feature disabled.
Anyway, my ideal smartphone would be:
Dual SIM (one physical and one e-SIM is acceptable)
Will work on AT&T and Verizon Wireless MVNO (like Total Wireless)
Has 5G bands for both AT&T and Verizon.
Will do wifi calling and texting, natively, on AT&T.
I think a Google Pixel 6 would do this. What I can't determine, yet, is if I should just buy the
unlocked Google Pixel 6 or the AT&T version. The unlocked version is $599 and the AT&T version
costs $739. What do I get for the additional $140?
pixel 6 is not dual sim, atleast not one the unlock version...
The $740 model has mmWave support. The base version does not. If you want to use Verizon and AT&T's fastest 5G, you want that antenna. Just beware that 5G is in extremely limited areas currently and mostly only works outdoors too because it doesn't have much building penetration capability. I personally would save the $140 since Verizon and AT&T are in the process of rolling out C-band 5G which IS supported by the modem and has much better range and building penetration.

It has eSIM and physical SIM which IS dual SIM. OP said that would be fine.

Am interested if this Pixel dual standby mode (SIM + eSIM) works for foreign sims too? Can I download AT&T as eSIM and use it with Spanish Orange SIM as physical SIM?

Should work as long as the bands are compatible, I wouldn't see an issue.

Slight tangent, but do you know if there's a way to check which version I have? I got mine as a refurb off Amazon, but it's unclear whether I got the GB7N6 or G9S9B (to my understanding the G9S9B has mmWave?) - and I swear I saw "G9S9B" in some device-info app but I can't find it again.
Edit: Oop, solved my own question. Termux getprop ro.boot.hardware.sku -> G9S9B. Neato. ...Don't know how that happened because I thought the G9S9B only came from AT&T and Verizon and I got it pre-unlocked, but I'm not complaining.
Does anyone know if my sim from my unlocked P3 will work in an unlocked P6 on Verizon?
I recently replaced my Straight Talk AT&T-based SIM with a Verizon-based one. The new SIM works well enough on the unlocked P6, though the 5G is limited to sub-6 frequencies as the Google Store P6 does not have mmWave 5G. Your P3 SIM should work fine in the P6.

Thanks for the reply. Also answering my own question, apparently you can now use an eSIM on Verizon. No physical SIM required.

You beat me to it. I've been using eSIM on VZW since November with no issues. Highly recommend it.
New phone on the way...
Hello, just a quick question about using international sim card. I'm traveling to the Philippines in a week and wanted to know if a sim from the Philippines would work with my unlocked S23U, purchased from Samsung, currently running S918USQU1AWC8
Previously, I had only bought carrier phones and on my last trip, I had to only go to the T-Mobile app to unlock the phone and was able to use a Philippine sim after that.
So is there a way to check if it would work? Your help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest you to take a look at eSIM option instead. Easier to acquire and better solution for short travelling.
