Inquiry Regarding Prepaid eSIM Activation from Abroad

Dear T-Mobile community,

I am reaching out to inquire about the possibility of purchasing and activating a prepaid line via eSIM, with a U.S. phone number, from abroad. I currently do not reside in the United States nor US citizen, but I require a U.S. phone number for certain services.

I have reviewed T-Mobile website but could not find clear information on whether this process can be completed from outside the country without having to visit a physical store. Could you please provide details on the steps I need to follow or any additional requirements for acquiring and activating the service from abroad?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

    All activations need to be done on the Tmobile USA network  so it can't be done abroad. Have you tried a Google voice number?
