    And for people that don’t want proprietary carrier apps on there phone? Don’t have WiFi, so you can’t download the virtual sim? On a OS that isn’t Google or Apple?

      You don’t need a carrier app. The phone OS asks the carrier network for activation and pulls the esim. I’ve done this several times in lineageos and grapheneos.

        It does require some Google service related functionality though I believe so may not work without gapps (may work with microg and graphenos has its own handling as you said).
