Just an FYI if you're just getting this for the "free" tablet. The tablet is a Galaxy A7 lite which only costs $200 ($129 on Amazon)

They will still lock you to a 2 year EIP even if it's free (They'll make a monthly credit to cover the tablet EIP)

Meaning you'd end up paying $10 for 2 years ($240) for a $129 tablet.

So if you're only doing it for the tablet then it's not worth it

Not on the "free" tablet, lol. In all seriousness, don't choose the plan with TE in the title as that one is tax exclusive (you have 2 choices)

soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

Grab a used m2000 Inseego router and have Rich Hathaway patch the FW and load a customer iemi. On mine, I'm pulling average 650mbps down and 40mbps up. All data shows as device data and the iemi reports to tmobile as a tablet.... Win/win.

P.S. The m2000 is tethered my Asus RT-AX82U. Works like a charm....

M2000-$120, Unlock service-$150, Powerful router-$200, Plan-$10/month
=
12 month T-Mobile home internet
After that you will have $40 less per month
A little bit expensive invest for me

Yes, I do see your logic and agree everyone has a breakeven point they are comfortable with..... I was able to grab my m2000 locally for $55 and my Asus RT-AX82U for $130 from Amazon..... So for me a lower investment to calculate my breakeven/ money ahead point.

Cool, didn't intend to disparage your decision. Just genuinely curious about these hotspot devices. One of the big things you're buying with a hotspot is WiFi routing, but it sounds like you're not using that, as you tether yours to an Asus router. Like you, I'd rather choose my own WiFi setup (TP-Link Deco mesh, for example) than be limited by the hotspot's capability.

So if we're not using the hotspot's WiFi router functionality, it seems like the hotspot is like a phone, except it doesn't have a screen and it requires jumping through some hoops to make it work with a tablet plan (custom firmware, IMEI spoofing).

I didn't know if something about the 4G / 5G reception hardware (number of antennas, antenna power) might give the hotspot an edge over a phone in terms of bandwidth or signal reliability. Sounds like you didn't choose it for those reasons though.

Thanks for your reply!

For sure! Hope it helps you make a well informed decision..... Sounds like a 5g phone will be the best option for you. The only caveat I had was wanting to make my device "appear" as a tablet for tmoble.

For anyone who is comfortable with rooting android phone. Search for an app "vpn hotspot" in xda-developer it is also in play store. Its purpose is to share phone's vpn connect with tethered devices, which by nature would make all traffic initiated from the phone itself and therefor not counted as tethering. I also found that even without vpn, t-mobile still does not detect tethering. It should in principal work with any android phone or tablet. You can use the phone/tablet as the router or connect phone to your home router. $10 unlimited home internet, if t-mobile does not throttle after 50gb.

Customer service told me it's fine to use the SIM in a phone or tablet, just not a "data-first" device like a hotspot, laptop, or Chromebook.

The cheapest option I've come up with is: Old 4G phone $30, EasyTether app $10, GL.iNet travel router $30. Works great.

The router's really independent though. Doesn't matter if you have T-Mobile, Xfinity, Starlink, or anything else for your service provider. Your WiFi router or mesh system needs to match the size and configuration of the space you're covering with WiFi. So I wouldn't really consider "powerful router - $200" as part of the equation when comparing ISPs.

That's not bad if no need high speed.

For what you'd need with a tmobile SIM, you'd be looking @ $150.
Did you provide a mobile table IMEI for repair or used a version IMEI ?

Just went to a T-Mobile store and they could not find this plan under business plans for tablet, showed them all this info and they told they don't have it, or they world know, did anyone run into this issue?
This happened to me also. He wasn't able to find the $10 plans. Here is what happened...
​
They have to do the following steps:
1. Create your business account (skip to Step 2 if you already have a business account).
2. Activate a SIM card on your account, and THEN the plans will populate to select under the SIM.

Are you sure your $10 data plan qualifies for 50% off Tab S7 5G FE? I was initially told yes, but few hours later my business rep sent an email to inform me that $10 data plan does not qualify for 50% off of Tab S7. You may want to check your billing statement and see if are geting a credit for S7 tablet.

Same thing happen to me! But luckily I was able to get a one time credit of $335! =] no monthly credits for me šŸ‘

my last week added 2nd line's sim & tablet got shipped and will be here tomorrow or so,
so I called in, asked some general questions then asked the agent if i can get HD pass added and the agent said sure, took 3 mins and now both my lines got HD pass and got the texts to confirm too.
the tablet's credit also got applied right away after the order got created, got the text confirmed that the amount will be applied and the credit also showing under my billing already.
now i am wishing i didn't return my 1st line's tablet LOL--by the way, haven't got the refund for my returned tablet, agent did tell me they will get back to me tomorrow, that's kinda odd to me. hope I'll get it soon
really good deal

I "gave in" and ordered a 2nd data sim tablet plan today, this time with the A7 Lite. Back ordered until end of May, but I'm in no rush.

Cheers.
