ipad air 4 doesn't connect to t-mobile

I selected T-Mobile from the list of plans that Apple provided on the iPad Air 4 Cellular Plans selection page on the device itself. Why would Apple include T-Mobile if they didn’t support eSIM on the Air 4? Verizon is not on that page and I confirmed that Verizon doesn’t support eSIM on the iPad Air 4 even though their Add A Line implies they do, in addition to supporting it on the iPad Pro. (I am a long time Verizon Customer.)

it gets more ironic. Truphone is on the selection page on the Air 4. Guess who Truphone uses in the U.S.? Bingo, T-Mobile. So they don’t work either. AT&T is on the page as well as ReteaGo from China. They both work, cause RedteaGo uses AT&T.

I would assume Apple would remove T-Mobile and Truphone from their own list if T-Mobile didn’t support eSIM on iPad Air 4. Apple phone support staff believes they do.

Thanks, I saw this T-Mobile post too. I have no errors, but I still have no connection and T-Mobile service doesn’t know that tablet prepaid data plans don’t have phone numbers or account numbers.

I would really like to hear from somebody who has made this work on their iPad Air 4.

Thanks for your response.
