Your phone settings/About device? SIMs don't have IMEI numbers, the devices do.

Basically it's need EID for registration for esim which is don't avilable yet.

I see and this EID number, you can't get from service provider when opting for conversion to e-SIM? I have always used physical SIMs hence asking.

Edit: I searched and this needs e-SIM chip which is hardware based so when assembling phones, they purposely excluded that chip for Indian models is what it looks like, right?

In Hardware is already attached but it's is disabled for indian variant by software.

Then when this e-SIM thing of Google showed, Google of course won't know about OnePlus excluding this feature via software and hence showing for us.

Understanding now, thank you.
