I find it hard to believe there aren’t threads about this already but I didn’t find anything when I searched …
I’m looking for a data SIM card for my mobile router (GL.inet MUDI V2) but I’m unsure of what to look for. I know that not all SIM cards will work and I’d rather not have to make a purchase to engage in trial and error.
I saw a T-mobile plan on bestmvno.com that claimed to have unlimited data (only) for $5/mo (Im in the US) but the description also mentioned text messaging (???) which tells me that it wouldn’t work for me but I’m not familiar with what I’m shopping for so I could be wrong.
Mobile router users: what are you using for your data only SIM cards?
Prepaid IoT sim cards
Not a heavy user, so I purchased one for 60 US that gets me 365 days of service or 24 GB, whichever depletes sooner. It defaults to T-Mobile coverage but can fall back to AT&T. No KYC. There are more premium options that get you Verizon coverage, also saw one advertising 300 GB a month at 50 Mbps for 350 a year, haven’t tried those yet though.
For the curious, I purchased from https://www.smartsimpro.com/, their website doesn’t give the best first impressions, but I can say that their data plan does work reliably for me once I configured the APN settings.
