I'm just trying to help, and I don't know your exact situation, but here is some info that might be helpful:

Its possible to use international eSIM services like Airalo, which I've found to be inexpensive and reliable for international travel.

Depending on your needs, you can use Airalo in the 2nd eSIM slot of your iPhone. Then If you set your iPhone to only use data from that 2nd eSIM, you can get incoming calls on your primary US number, using the data stream from the 2nd eSIM for the call.

This setup will actually be WiFi calling, not airtime calling. On some US phone plans, this won't trigger international call charges.

Again, I don't know your exact situation, but there could be some possibilities for you with this route. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone out there who only has a dual eSIM phone…

Again, just trying to help…

EDIT:
If you want to know exactly how to do this, let me know and I'll post it a bit later once I'm at my computer where I have that exact "how to" info saved…

1 - Turn ON wifi calling on SIM1
2 - Turn OFF data roaming on SIM1
3 - Set SIM1 as your primary voice
4 - Set SIM2 as your primary data source
5 - Disable the cellular switching

Whenever not on wifi, this setup will piggy back off SIM2 cellular connection as WiFi calling. This also works on iPhone 13 Pro Max using physical / eSIMs


Apple Support mentions DUAL SIM usage here:

I hope this help!

Mint 100% supports eSIM. I've been using a 14 on Mint since release.

Got one, thanks. My Citi card comes with a 2-year extended warranty. Apple may be able to refund the $199 AppleCare in the bundle if you don't need it.
Which Citi card ? Also, will Apple refund apple care if the item isn't bought directly from them

Did you try recently? Getting conflicting information, wondering if a loophole was fixed recently

And assuming Apple refunds using store credit/gift card, which is the only way possible, how would Costco later process refund of a phone if you returned it within 90 days?

Does the phone have to be carrier unlocked to do this?

Are there others that will price match this, or has anyone been successful with a PM?

How are you guys OK with no physical sim slot I would pay 300$ extra to get a physical slot..dual eSIM sucks. For anyone who travels even domestically when moving from 11 to 14 eSIM I had to go to TMo store the esim transfer was useless said not supporter although both carriers are tmo locked iPhones..I wish they kept the Phy Sim.

Quote from dakwoods :
This is a strange position for Costco who just lost their mobile provider contractor, and as Apple may want even more marketshare with 14 sales, it's a right place and right time scenario to see unlocked iPhones being sold at such a discount. Anyone who hasn't upgraded already through their own carrier's discounts/deals since launch have a great opportunity here. USB-C won't improve the 15 if that's been on anyone's mind, it will just change your cable choice 👍
iPhone15 is slated for some heavy hardware (namely camera) upgrades, titanium shell, etc. Price will also be higher. From MacRumors tho - so take it with a grain of salt.
