Want to use this phone... but

I really want to use this phone but there seems to be zero consensus on if it will even work on a specific carrier.

I currently have an iphone 15 on Verzion, esim only.

I'd pick up a T-Mobile account to use this phone but seems there is still no guarantee it will work. You can order a pre-activated sim card from t-mobile but I see reports that might not even work. I don't simply have a spare phone lying around that I can use to activate a sim and I think it's ridiculous to buy a phone just to do that. I also see talk of having to work with support to get them to do special things to get the phone working. I have about zero confidence that any support person will actually be able to help with this. They are activating 99.999% supported Android and iPhones all day. They don't care about this device at all.

Is there any 100% guaranteed, officially supported way to get this thing working in the US without jumping through hoops.

Edit: Thanks for the responses. I ordered the phone and a pre-activated SIM for T-Mobile connect. I am in the central New Jersey area and will report back once everything comes in.
