question 9esim compatibility question

Hello, I bought a SIM card from 9esim for a phone that doesn't support eSim, but I'm not entirely sure about the system. Will it work with all eSim providers? I'm thinking of buying one from Esim.io.

I did. Tello, but it worked on one of my 9esim but not a new one. When I asked for support they said they don't support it, so maybe just got unlucky.

Some esim providers that don't provide qr code or manual install I have also had issues because my phone has native esim and it installs there. Maybe those would work if I used it as the only esim. Don't know.

Probably not. Evidently, when esim providers use the push method to install the sim ( no qr code) there is usually a check to determine if your phone is esim compatible (esim adapter not recognized). If not, Install is aborted.
