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?


You know how bad it was to buy just a SIM card lately? Really hard! Walmart doesn’t sell them, Best Buy doesn’t have just SIM card for sale anymore unless it’s “Simple mobile” “Ultra wireless” or some shoddy NVMO. or Mint, but Mint doesn’t do mobile hotspot plans 😮💨.
My best guess, I’m going to buy a Tracfone SIM probably, bc it supports T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon, and their cheapest plan is $10/mo for 1GB data which is mostly for emergencies anyway since I use WiFi at home and work.
