T-Mobile Orders Did You Get A SIM In The Box?

[phone-a-holic]

I ordered directly from Tmobile and didn't get a SIM in the box. So I tried the eSIM option from the email I was sent that didn't work. I called customer care and she take out old SIM or go to store. I went to store to get one and had the most horrible time trying to get one. Finally I am active. Trying to restore and then I will post pictures and stuff.

I ordered an unlocked S24 Ultra from Samsung. Back in 2022, when I got my S22 Ultra, I did buy a T-Mobile sim card and activation was smooth after it was in the phone. So, this evening I went to my local T-Mobile store to buy a sim card for the new S24 Ultra. Gal at the store said I don't need a sim card for the S24 Ultra. But I haven't tried to activate it yet. I'd be interested in hearing from other T-Mobile folks about their experience.

Interesting enough I ran across this article. I wonder if this is why the T-Mobile rep told you you didn't need a sim card.

Android owners can now transfer their eSIMs to any Android phone

It appears Google may have softly launched its eSIM transfer tool, allowing owners to transfer their eSIM to any Android device.

I tried the eSIM info that was sent to and it said call customer care.

I have T-mobile and went unlocked. I just transferred E-Sim from old phone to new phone. I just had to go to connections and manage SIM and told to transfer then phones just needed to be sitting next to each other. Assuming your previous phone had a card I guess.

Yeah, I assume if you are coming from a physical, you will need CS the first time, but maybe after that, you dont??

I wound up having to go into the T-Mobile store. The sales associate just popped the sim from the S22 Ultra into the S24 Ultra. Anyway, now deep into the tweaking and arranging.

Had a physical sim in my S21u and went through the option on the phone. It quickly made an esim on the new phone.

When I set-up my s24u unlock TMO I choose esim and my device I was copying everything was my Fold 5 which had sim card and everything went well without contacting T-Mobile

Yes.
