That argument sounds good until you remember T-Mobile, a company with less than half the annual revenue of AT&T, has absolutely no problem servicing any device with the proper frequency bands.

Servicing does not equal support. It doesn't get more direct than that.

That's all I see people wanting though. Service, not support.

I just activated a new phone with T-Mobile and they basically insisted on a physical SIM card. When I asked why they said they can do an eSIM but then I wouldn't get 5G. Is that true? If not, then why are they pushing physical SIM cards so hard?

I can confirm that an eSIM should work with 5G without issue on Tmobile.

I can first-hand confirm it actually works on their network.
