A54 Galaxy eSIM models (Verizon/T-Mobile)

Hi -

Looking for an US A54 variant that will work (unlocked) on Verizon *and* T-Mobile, and supports Galaxy eSIM.

Tried Samsung support, but got looped between AI and humans who kept referring me to other chats. Hoping there's a smart human here who might know the answer.

I believe the SM-A546V meets this spec, but can't confirm.

The A546V is verizon model.

Understood. The A546V I'm looking at is an unlocked unit, so I could use it on my MVNO (USMobile), which has service in the US on both Verizon and T-Mobile. 

One of my other requirements is eSIM, and it's my understanding that the A546V supports that.

It also looks like the A546U1 supports eSIM as well, so perhaps either would work?

The A546V is locked to verizon and will work only on Verizon.

Hmm. Even if the A546V is being listed by the vendor as "unlocked" it would still only work on Verizon?

[angelg4]

You shouldn't buy that phone is if state unlocked as is only works for Verizon.

[angelg4]

It depends what carrier you're going to use.

My phone is an a546u1 and has an e Sim as well as the physical Sim. I use t-mobile. I know for a fact that it works on Verizon as well.

A546U1 is the unlocked model
