How do I get a free SIM card or eSIM card to use on my iPhone 11 Pro Max every month at no cost to me bc I’m unemployed and can’t get my phone turned back on to use
Did you read Mr. Finch's reply?
No carrier anywhere in the world offers free cellular network access. Even if you are unemployed. Building and running a cellular phone network – or renting one from another carrier, to rebrand – takes a LOT of money. The phone companies aren't in business to lose money by giving free service to you.
In the U.S., there is a program that can subsidize the cost of Internet or phone service for qualifying households. This is at the Federal level – if you are in the U.S., there might be a State-level plan where you live.
FCC – Lifeline Program for Low-Income Consumers which links to the site of the administrative company
USAC – Lifeline: Lowering the monthly cost of phone or internet service
Even if you qualify, and it covers cell phone service, the maximum subsidy is $9.25 per month.

A SIM or eSIM is the connection between your phone and your carrier’s network. No carrier anywhere in the world offers free cellular network access. You need to either buy a prepaid SIM or sign a contract for an account with a carrier.
You don't.
This is as close as you're going to get assuming you're in the US.

You would need to see if any carrier offers completely free service. It’s unlikely but you can use free trials some offer. But unless you live somewhere that offers assistance programs that will allow you to get free service on your currently owned iPhone you will need to find a way to be able to pay for service monthly if you want it
In case Mr. Finch misinterpreted your post, eSIM is built into the phone.
You don’t get an external card, it’s part of the main board.
