Dumb questions about M2000 hotspot and unlocking
I currently have phones on TMo plans but no mobile hotspot data plans. I recently bought a used M2000 hotspot that was advertised as unlocked (and has a TMo SIM installed).
- How do I check whether the M2000 is indeed unlocked? I installed a prepaid data SIM from Talksim and get "Invalid SIM". Does this mean the device is still locked?
- Is there a way to get TMo to unlock without getting on one of their plans? I just want to use this for international travel and don't need to use it at home in the US.
- I can't seem to access my.mifi (192.168.1.1) when connected via USB to my PC (likely because my router owns that address). Do I need an active data SIM on the M2000 to get to the admin page?
Sorry for these newbie questions.

A lot of these hot spots can't be unlocked. You can go to Tmobile's imei checker or a site like Swappa to check unlock status.

Swappa IMEI checker is not great for hotspots. All it says is that it's allowed to be sold on Swappa, no other info. TMobile's checker just says it's compatible which I already knew because it has a TMobile SIM.
