I was just wondering on this.. My Spectrum service is going to expire in a few months, and I wanted to switch to a data eSIM accompanied by TextNow

I don't believe so. But it has been quite a while since I've had mine.

Phone Arena doesn't list esim as one of the specs. Neither does anywhere else I could find.

Google says it is.. I guess I just have to flash a ROM as I might have a carrier specified Pixel

Yeah. At the time I seemed to remember that you could use dual sim on it. But I may be misremembering.

But comparing it to the 4a on phone Arena, in the spec list the 4a has esim listed but the 3 a doesn't.

Check out eSim.me

It's been working a treat in my old Samsung.

Pixel 3a has esim.

[–] buzz86us 2 points 10 months ago

Well I'll definitely have to figure it out sometime because those data Sims are cheep

The Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3a both support eSIM.

(The Pixel 2 sort of did but only for Google Fi.)

The Pixel 3 briefly supported DSDS (pSIM+ eSIM) in a beta but it was removed before general release.

Pixel 3a was the first Pixel to officially support DSDS.
