5G hotspot sim in LTE hotspot

Hey there! The variety of hotspot devices is so fantastic because you can always find one to fit each situation. SIM cards are backwards compatible so if it is 5G capable then it will connect to our 4G and LTE bands when available. Even if the SIM card is compatible, it does not always mean that the device is. Where did you purchase your ZTE USB stick? 

Hello HeavenM. Good info on the backwards compatibility.

All 3 of the USB sticks I've tried have been purchased from amazon and none of them want to make a connection. They all get stuck in "limited service" mode after entering the APN info in. 

The three devices are:

ZTE MF833V https://a.co/d/3RAJOjL

Generic USB LTE https://a.co/d/3IB0LDS

HOSAYA 4G LTE USB https://a.co/d/0tDWDXw

I have an Inseego USB8 on the way. That seems to be the go-to that everyone is using currently.
