Hi allI'm trying to get my two carriers on a single XS. I have the 12.1 beta (16B5059d) and am able to get to the point of adding a second line (or moving the nanoSIM) to the eSIM. The phone is unlocked, so no carrier restriction.We'll call the two carriers/lines A and T.When I contacted T, they actually attempted to activate the eSIM using the EID. Everythig got switched over, but after several hours and restarts, I couldn't make or receive calls. The only data was over WIFi. When I added the nanoSIM from A while the eSIM was still allegedly active from T, I could make and receive calls on the A line.With that minor success, knowing the phone would work wtih either nanoSIM, I put T's nanoSIM back in the XS and moved A's nanoSIM back to the older phone it had been in before I got the XS.I called A's technical support and asked them very simply for the SM-DP+ address and Activation Code the Settings app asks for when you go to add a cellular plan and choose to enter the details manually.This thoroughly confused the less than helpful tech from A. When I tried the same thing with the techs from T, I had varying levels of help, including being told I needed to wait for a software update (which I have...12.1 gives me the things I need), to their not supporting eSIM. The tech from A said just as much, but it was at least consolidated into a single person who gave conflicting information.That long-ish back-story brings me to the question: How have you been able to get your provider to give you the SM-DP+ address and Activation Code (and optional Confirmation Code) so you can test using multiple lines (from multiple carriers) on a single device?
