Yep! I have it set up as a secondary eSIM alongside my primary AT&T eSIM.

I do - not specific to iPhone but I find the Google Fi tail coverage not good compared to other carriers eg subway in NY.

Used to be on Fi on Android, found it ok locally and great for international travel. Considered it when I switched back to iPhone. But when I looked into it, I found the T-Mobile coverage way too limited, at least in the bay area.

I do, it's great -- I also use in a Pixel, which is even better as they brought the e-sim first

I did all summer when we were traveling in Europe. As soon as I got back stateside, we had to switch back - coverage is horrible in the Bay Area and something about the SIM would cause my phone to overheat. Also sucked because it wasn't an esim that my apple watch could no longer be tethered to my phone.

I am. Their data-only SIMs (you can get up to 4-5 of them for free?) are a great feature, and I love the Fi concept in general, but their coverage esp. in the Bay Area sucks.

Yep. MMS doesn't work super reliably, and experience on Pixel is obvs vastly better than on iPhone but it works better for us compared to the alternatives.

I moved to London in Feb and use dual Google Fi eSIM and Vodafone regular sim. Great for keeping my US number.

Voicemail is trash and roaming gets cutoff if you spend too long abroad (that annoyed me). Back on T-Mobile

FYI: If you also need connectivity on your Apple Watch, that’s not supported.
