Using with a prepaid data only plan from AT&T. Everything works great.

Date Added: 03/16/2023 by David L. (Randolph, TX)
This thing is fantastic, and blows everything else I've tried out of the water. HOWEVER now T-Mobile won't connect anymore, and they refuse to "activate" the Pepewave on their network. Nevermind that their SIM card has worked in it for 18 months. So now I have to lose the use of this expen$ive hotrod or $pend more on Verisore or ATT. The Public Utilities Commission will hear about this.

Faster speed with unlimited AT&T plan 100Gbps than Unlimitedville with AT&T - not sure what plan they use.
