T-Mobile users make sure you're using a 5G SIM card.

Changing SIM Cards does NOT change your phone number (unless you want it too).

I would call customer care, or take it to a store, and have them activate the NEW SIM Card in the N20U on the line you want to keep the number on.

It's not hard or much of a hassle.

I can report that with the new sim I've noticed no difference in speeds. SA may not be available in my section of NYC.

Pretty easy to do online as well. Took me just a couple of minutes to active the the new SIM and swap it out.

From what I understand you need the SIM and an update that hasn't been released yet for the N20U. I have not seen a difference with just the SIM in San Diego.

I believe your correct, and supposed to be in September update
Now if tmobile would release that update. Still don't understand how an unlocked phone has to wait for tmobile to release the update. Also waiting for esim activation update. About to get stationed in Japan and want esim for my American number and physical Sim for a local number.

I updated my SIM although they told me I didn't need to. I had to call a second time to use the new SIM. I don't get 5G coverage at home, so I have to go out and about to test it.

I watched the video from Samsung about the UWB module and they were saying the esim was built in with that. I also looked at the specs before buying and they said had esim. I hope it does I need 2 Sims.
