Visible eSIM Issue
- Edited
Has anyone solved this? I am running into this issue on a Pixel 4a (non 5g). My physical sim slot is acting up and I'd like to switch to eSIM but I get the "must be in the US" error. I have tried everything suggested except a factory reset.

eSIM was not present in GrapheneOS after installing it in the stock Pixel 4a image. I worked with Visible customer service and was unable to make eSIM work with GrapheneOS. eSIM would install (after Visible Customer Service gave me a QA code for it) but I only had data, no voice, SMS, MMS.
Is there any movement on this? Looks like esim does not work unless you first installed before installing grapheneos?
I'm sure there probably isn't anything on the graphine side, it's a visible issue, sigh...

r49dcr You can install an eSIM on a device running GrapheneOS. Instructions are given here: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play-esim
Glad to report that the QR code sent by the agent via e-mail seems to have worked seamlessly. App-based eSIM transfer/activation continues to be an issue if one is setting up the eSIM in GrapheneOS the first time.
Kryptos I use a SIMO Solis 5G WiFi HotSpot for travel, it has en eSim, and you can load GBs with a debit card. It's not an intuitive device to configure, including loading data plans, but it works well once configured. Disappointed to hear that Google Services are required on the owners profile, as I was just getting ready to activate, but I figured as much, considering how GoS works.

FWIW, the post you responded to is now nearly two years old. It may or may not accurately describe the current state of affairs.

You're referring to an out of date thread. That's no longer the case. eSIMs no longer require Google Play Services at all.
