Do I have to set up an eSIM? If no is there a way to stop my iPhone 11 to stop asking to set it up?
the other thing that is strange is that the eSIM it is asking me to set up states that it is a Metro by T-Mobile……they are not my service provider I have Verizon?
I have just installed iOS 16 a few days ago and started to get this message about setting up the eSIM
iPhone 11
OK so the way I had gotten this to stop requesting it because it will request you to complete this each and every day until you do it. So continue setting up the actual eSIM after it has set up it will create another phone number as “Travel” you will then need to go in Cellular or Mobile Data and actually delete the eSIM and after you delete it, it will not ask you to set it up anymore and the eSIM will no long be active. Then you will be left with just your primary phone number that is active.

I have this same issue popping up the last couple of day. "T-Mobile would like to activate an eSim on this device". I have never had T-Mobile as a carrier.
