Hey, just an update. I was able to set up the eSim from the My Metro app. Seems their service was down for a bit and I just had to wait.

Thanks.

Perhaps you're having an issue because Metro is not according to Apple supporting eSim on iPhone?

The list I linked is directly from Apple and supposedly the most current. I'm not sure the fact that Metro is owned by T-Mobile makes any difference. A good example of this would be Spectrum Mobile using Verizon. But for the first two years Spectrum provided cellular services, they could not support Apple Watch. Even though Verizon does support Apple Watch.


Metro is a lower cost provider, with lower cost service offerings.


You'll need to work directly with Metro on this. I'd visit one of their offices for in-person help. And if it can't be resolved, find a different carrier to use.
