Samsung Fold 5 - esim

I just purchased my Fold 5 unlocked from Samsung directly. I am being told eSim is not supported currently for Samsung phones. Is there any ETA for this to be available.

It is frustrating to have paid such a hefty price tag for a phone where I have to give the only physical Sim slot. I was hoping to be able to have my xfinity line on esim and my work line which can't be converted to esim entered into the physical slot.

@Devtek86 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I'm truly sorry to hear of this frustration. At this time eSim isn't available with Xfinity Mobile for anything other than Apple phones that are compatible. At this time we are unable to say when we may support eSim with Andriod devices. 

Since our team here has limited access to Xfinity mobile accounts, if you have additional questions you'll want to reach out to that department separately by calling or texting 1-888-936-4968 and one of our dedicated Xfinity Mobile specialists are there for assistance 24/7. You can also visit our Xfinity Mobile assistant page, where we have support available thorough chat as well: https://comca.st/3vkGv93.

Every telecom company in third world countries is capable to provide esim support to Samsung phone. I am unable to understand where are living?

This is incredibly annoying. I also got a Fold 5 and since eSIM tech is rather simple, it baffles me that this carrier is unable to support Android connections. Maybe Apple gave them some money to keep it that way.

Was told the same. This is so frustrating. I truly don't see why xfinity can't support esim for fold 5.
