Re: move Home Internet SIM to personal router with external antenna
A follow-up. I confirmed that you cannot use a home internet SIM in a different router. T-Mobile will not allow it. It can be done with a business account. I went to a T-Mobile store and one other item I discovered is that if you have 2 lines you can add a third line for a Magenta Tablet plan. It is $20/mo for unlimited data after the discounts and autopay. I also compared the home internet speed with the speed of this new line and they are virtually identical. So if you add the magenta tablet plan you can put the SIM in your router and accomplish the same as the $30/mo home internet option. I'll play with this to confirm it does not throttle. They told me it is a true unlimited plan at the store so we will see.53Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: move Home Internet SIM to personal router with external antenna
I'm working on this right now. Here is what I have figured out so far. I am not able to swap my SIM from the T-Mobile home internet gateway to my own device. It does not work. I also contacted T-Mobile support and they will not register a differentdevice for you. However, you can get T-Mobile business internet and they will allow you to useyour own device. It's $50/mo for unlimited Business instead of $30/mo for Home. You'll need a business account to do that. What I have been using for over 4 years is a T-Mobile ipad data plan. That SIM is $20/mo as an addon to my existing T-Mobile phone service and I moved it to my router and it works fine. It gets throttled when you go over 50GB but you can bypass the throttlingby setting the TTL to Linux2-65 on your router. You'll need a router like an Insty Connect or MoFi that has the option to set the TTL and there are videos that explain how that works. I was hoping I could switch from $20/mo to $30/mo and have true unlimited data but you just can't do it with your own deviceunless you go with thebusiness account for $50/mo.43Visto0likes0Comentarios
