Okay, I know I have a headache and it has been a long week, but I don't see Consumer Cellular on that list. Have I lost what was left of my mind?
It’s way down toward the bottom of the four-part list.
Unfortunately, I suspect THAT well-intentioned 4-part list is only going to ADD to the confusion of the GenPop.
(at this point, most don’t need to know which provisioning method a particular carrier employs)
In a reddit thread, a Consumer Cellular rep stated they expect to support eSIM on the iPhone 14 only at the launch of the iPhone 14, and will support it on other phones in the future:
We expect to have the Apple iPhone 14 models available around the same time as Apple's release date, and support for those models will be available immediately. Since this is still new for our service, we don't have a specific timeframe for other phones, but we'll keep our customers updated as things change.

Well, it has certainly added to my confusion!
I just chatted with CC customer support. Here is their reply: "We will be supporting ESIMS for the new iPhone 14 when it is released on 09/16/2022. As long as the iPhone 14 is purchased unlocked, it can work with our service."
According to this:

No, they do not at the time of this writing.

I don’t what “other eSIM activation methods” means.
Ask them
????
I am fully aware of that. Both of them are on that list.

Sorry, I saw that but had already edited my post. My bad and I apologize.
