You seem very knowledgeable and wanted to ask about the SIM card. When I go to activate the phone I need the IMEI and SIM card number. Does the card need to be inserted into the phone to activate it online. Asking because I might not have access to the phone. Thanks

i would add. if possible. do insert sim. make a call or 2.
remember you are agreeing to activate the phone in T & C.
i would take the additional precaution to "fully activate" by registering a call.

Looks like this is an oversea company and is roaming on T-Mobile in my area. The RedteaGO SIM shows up under "Mobile network". But the eSIM is still hidden in About phone/SIM status.
but i think the question is how do u register the esim on the phone?
did u enter imei2 online on redtea site?
did u scan a qr code on the phone?
if i add another phone, the charge for plan is listed as $1.29.
total is 61.28

Edit: Nevermind. I see that you just mentioned that you don't need to insert the sim card in the phone to activate it and nothing about activating it without the sim card or the phone.

Is there any way to try a Boost eSIM on this phone before using the enclosed SIM to activate it on Boost? One poster noted this a question, but no answers yet. If this might work, would solve the eSIM issue. Is this the reason to ask Boost for a QR code?
I would also like to be able to use an eSIM for this phone and prefer not to change the OS. (FWIW, Rob Braxman uses IodeOS for his de-googled and anti-spyware phone. I think it can be used for the MEP 2023, but just a guess.) Other postings mention other OS's, retail, retail US versions and difficulty in getting Android updates, especially security updates, OTA non synch issues etc once you use a non-Boost / DISH version of Android. Bricking the phone always seems to be a risk as well. Instabridge: (WIFI Hotspot Map, eSIM etc) gets horrible reviews on Play Store -so I will not use it, despite a couple of postings about using it. I read the new posts about RedteaGO eSIM. https://esim.redteago.c
In the meantime, I am a bit confused about the posts where Boost or another provider is supposed to offer us a QR code. If you call or do a chat, you have to provide a reason for the request - what EXACTLY is this QR code supposed to do for us and why, .... ? How do we receive it - email? Once received do we just scan it from desktop monitor via phone camera and poof, we enter the Magic Kingdom? Sorry to be thick.
Does this Boost promotion only work if you port in an existing number from a source outside Boost, eg Verizon? If you do not port in a number, will Boost assign you a new phone number at zero cost or do you have to somehow buy a new phone number first? Is it safest to burn a number assigned by Boost and after the first prepaid month is finished, and after successful $12-15 ish unlock works, switch to a number used on an older phone you want to replace via switching SIM / eSIM?
It seems you must activate the MEP 2023 meaning you have to open the box, use the enclosed SIM, do some calls, texts and use some data, etc. Will that crush the resale value? I assume a factory reset will be required.
Thanks in advance.

altho i'm not sure how this would help me either, as i dont know how to get another esim qr code, i was wondering perhaps for my 12r.
i'm very unclear how esims actually work
in this case at least its actually more controlling, because if visible wont let me go through their esim processes, due to always checking an imei whitelist to start, it doesnt matter what the phone supports. which is not the case with pysical sim such as the iphone workaround.
