Other Which is the cheapest phone with eSIM?

The price has changed for me too. 33k now. Better to get the Pixel 7a, 7 or 8a with bank discounts at that price.
Check if you can get any good condition used iphones from OLX, Cashy or somewhere nearby.

Never bought anything from olx or cashify. Are they reliable ?

Another option would be to get a SIM card that can act as an eSim, eg:


Not sure of other brands, though. Potentially worth looking into if you just want a very cheap handset to run a particular SIM card.
Seems like we need to get it from China. Are there any issues importing stuff from China?
