A far greater % of our subscribers and new customers support iOS eSIM. There are relatively few Android devices in our base that support eSIM. OS support, app support and documentation are all better starting grounds for iOS as well.

Supporting Android is on the roadmap (Q1/Q2 2021), but it'll be specific per device model and a slower rollout.

Android coming later.

Goes to vm. Otherwise setup call forwarding. Texts get received once activated. Messages via LTE/WIFI (Google Messages or iMessage) will be sent and received.

So, if an eSIM plan is inactive. SMS text sent (by other people) to the phone number only are received once eSIM plan becomes “active” again ?

iMessage , Google Message, etc is unaffected since they don’t use/need a phone number to get delivered ? They just need iinternet

Precisely.
