I keep getting unsolicited requests from something called “Cricket” to set up an eSIM on my phone (Spark).

I can’t seem to find a way to prevent it occurring. Obviously I’ve not set it up.

Anyone else had this or know how to stop it?

It’s a thing carriers can do - push an eSIM to your phone using its IMEI or serial but seems limited to the US.

A friend had this happen, he just accepted the eSIM provisioning. Then went into settings, the eSIM was now visible and he removed it. Never came back.

Probably https://www.cricketwireless.com/.

As above, probably best if it keeps happening, accept then remove.
