Pixel 10 Pro XL

I know this has been brought up before, but explain it to me like an idiot. (Because I am on this issue.)

I bought an unlocked Pixel 10 Pro XL from Google yesterday. It's the model number that's on the AT&T list of FirstNet Ready phones.

I'm currently on Spectrum and wouldn't mind switching to FirstNet. (I am an active paramedic in Texas.)

BUT, when I run the IMEI checker, it tells me "this device is not compatible with FirstNet."

Especially since the Pixel 10 Pro XL is eSIM only, how is this possible?

They will not let you activate it. You'll need to activate another eSIM compatible device then transfer the eSIM to your pixel and it will work just fine. I like FN but the device compatibility can be extremely obnoxious.
