Using it right now. Setup was straightforward, and I'm using Warp Speed and Dark Star.

What is warp and dark star?
they're the names of usmobile's network plans. ~~warp with their tombile~~ based network plan and dark star is their at&t network plan.
e: warp is verizon, light speed is tmobile
Warp Speed is based on Verizon.
you're right, i was thinking light speed
I'm on a pixel 9 graphene with physical sim on Warp. I had issues with RCS on their light speed(t-mobile) but it's been working well on warp
In GrapheneOS, there's a new RCS activation setting in "Sandboxed Google Play" -> "Play service permissions".
I didn't have RCS for years, and this feature fixed it. The fearure was just added in February.
I've used both Warp and Light speed with eSIM on a pixel 8.
This is great news. I can get physical sims. Now I just need to pick a pixel phone. Thanks everyone !
I'm using the T-Mobile one (light speed maybe?) with a physical sim card and it works. (although I haven't gotten texting/calling to work over WiFi yet)
I have a different provider but in case you didn't know you do need to have google play services installed with network access to set up an eSIM. You can delete it afterwards. I just used the qr code in the email from my cell provider to avoid having to install an app.
It works on both sim and esim. I can't say anything on the app itself though.
Never tried ESIM because it requires google code to run, but it works fine with physical Sim.
Could you elaborate on this some more? I've never heard of this.
