So I got the phone today and setup then tried to move over my esim from my 14 pro in the Visible app only to get an IMEI isn't available message.

Not sure what I should do.

We got that message when we tried moving my wife's iPhone to the Motorola RAZR+, using eSIM. If you're sure your phone is unlocked, just contact a support person and have them send you a physical SIM card. They overnighted it to us. They don't update their IMEI database until a new phone model has been out awhile.

That’s weird cause when I got the pixel fold I was able to use eSIM right away with that thing.

It is a carrier issue rather than a Samsung one.
Absolutely! As the former director of technical ops for a cell phone manufacturer who shall remain nameless, I can tell you that there is nothing "magical" about compatibility. If the network technology (GSM, CDMA, etc.) is compatible (it is) and the phone is unlocked, the phone will work... period.

That's what I was thinking! I was like there should be no reason why this phone doesn't work or isn't compatible with their service. I also check xfinity mobile for fun and it also gave me the same error LOL.
