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
Some people don't live in a house.
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.

A few people have $10 auto pay credits so it's free service.
Do you believe it?

Only one person claimed having voice but intentionally chose not reply when asked to show some minimum proof.
Then he continued to claim having voice while ignoring the proof requests.
The fact that he claimed using esim is because he was probably making calls from the physical sim card from another voice line or another carrier..

These tablet plans are coded as non-voice lines on the server level, not on the sim card level and won't have voice no matter what sim card you use. Anyone with a basic database/programming knowledge would know that it is impossible for such a bug to exist and last.

It reminds me people claiming wifi calling works on any device because they can use google voice/whatsapp calling. They actually don't know what they are doing.
It also reminds me a SD user claiming he could easily unlock any carrier phones, while in fact he just sold the locked carrier phones and use the money to buy another unlocked phone.
I do not think it is in server level because, when trmobile transfers from tablet to voice or vice versa all they have to to do is enable or disable the feature. So, couple members here got voice because whoever added the tablet line had forgot to disable voice feature.

I tested and I got $20 auto pay credits. So t-mobile is paying me $10 for using their free service of unlimited data.
BTW: t-mobile is sending me a bottle of red wine every month for celebrating me joining the t-mobile family.
LMAO.

It is server/system level.
When t-mobile transfers between tablet and voice line, it doesn't check the option to enable/disable voice feature but just chooses plan type as tablet or voice and it will apply the plan features automatically. There is no option for enable specific features such as voice or sms or amount of data because these features are baked into the plans and t-mobile only need to select the correct plan.
Only other add-on features such as bingeon and extra data add-on have the option to turn on and off, but not basic/fundamental features like voice, sms and allotment of data.

Where is your "couple" coming from? Does "couple" mean one without any proof? I only saw one user here claiming voice feature repeatedly but immediately pretending blind when asked for proof.

Now I will use some statistic science to prove that there is no manual option to enable/disable voice feature:
Null hypothesis: let's assume there IS a manual option to enalbe/disable voice feature.
It follows that t-mobile employees have to manually turn off/on voice option everytime they activate a tablet/voice line. Everyone has a chance of making mistake and let's assume t-mobile employees are excellent and only have a 0.1% of probability for not correctly turning on/off the voice feature. Assuming t-mobile has 100 million customers, there will be 0.1 million of customers having voice on tablet lines or not having voice on their voice lines.
Can you image that?
The numbers will be higher if the mistake rate is higher than 0.1%. Even the champions of Olympic Games usually make at least one mistake in less than 20 runs. And I doubt average t-mobile employees have lower mistake rate than champions.

Has anyone figured out a hack to use the TMOSH1 without the battery installed? Keeping the battery in while the device is always plugged in to a power source will most likely degrade the battery life. Not good if I want to go mobile with it at some point.
You can power on that hotspot plugged into USB with the battery installed and then simply pull the battery and it will remain running.

VOICE is automatically defaulted to Active on any and all lines. So it has to be turned off for Tablet lines.

I tried that and the device turned off. I wonder if the power supply has to be delivering a certain wattage for this to work.

Edit: I tried in a 10W (5V 2.0A) and 12W (5V 2.4A) adapter and it wouldn't stay on with either.

I have two TMOHS1. Both continue to run with the battery pulled. This is how I used one of the hotspots when I was playing with it for a few days. And I can confirm this works with the USB adapter that came with the hotspot as well as a third party charger. Good luck.

I just tried the adapter that came with it (I was using one that fit better behind a dresser) and it also did not stay on.

I may have to FTP into the device and see if there is a conf file with a power-on setting.

Even if that was true, you can think about other manual options for like SMS and data allotment, where employees are doomed to make mistakes if they were manual options, instead of baked/packaged into plans.

Just check how many times t-movie employees put customers on wrong plans and multiply that by a magnitude of 10 if fundamental plan features such as voice, SMS and data allotment were manual options and required employees to manually turn on/off when activating a sim card.

Fundamental plan features like voice, SMS, data allotment and international roaming are packaged into the plan soc and there is no manual option to turn them on/off unless you change to a different plan soc. That is how PLAN SOC works. Period.

The only scenario for voice to work is that the sim was activated on a voice line plan SOC by mistake.
Voice never work on tablet plans on T-Mobile or any US domestic carriers. Some foreign carriers do allow voice on tablet lines.

Correct, from a virgin eSIM install on a brand new business acct. Ignore the naysayers that haven't a clue and activated their accounts with a physical SIM... No physical SIM has ever touched this account. (I believe that's the rub.)

It may be the adapter ... maybe try a couple of other basic power adapters as mines did not stay powered on when they were plugged into a USB-C PD adapter.

Lucky.

I got $20 auto pay credit for each $10 line.
I am earning $10 per line.
BTW: I activated 2 lines on an iphone 13 pro max, one on esim and one on physical sim. My bill is -$20 after $40 auto pay creidts.

Did either of you patch yours with the TMOHS1 Root Utility? I'm wondering if the patch made it stop running without the battery. I didn't try to run without the battery until after I patched.
