There is no workaround. Im looking to buy a Pixel 7 and cant because Im with Smarty. I think sadly this is going to be my reason to leave after many happy years. I know you can have everything on an mvno but esim is the way it is all going so they have to eventually. Meanwhile some will have to leave.

    Doesn't one of your service provider's offer eSIM support MrMas?

    Although Three and SMARTY don't (yet), some of the other UK networks do, e.g. EE.

      Nope. Smarty is my main number and my main data provider but my other mvno sim is important to me as I roam in a European but non EU country regularly and they include this which is now very rare for the country concerned. I either carry two phones everywhere or I'd be forced to dump Smarty.

        Just wait you will find if Apple do it everyone else follows suite Esim is a cost saving so networks dont have to send out sims save money
