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.

OK, found the easy way to do it for cheap. No need to mess with this programming stuff.

For those that want an easy solution for cheap, just get a cudy router, update to latest firmware, and you'll have the option to change ttl right there as a setting. I confirmed and it's working without using the tethering data.

Easiest hack I've ever done.

Enjoy everyone while it lasts. Now that the secret is out, they might patch the loophole
Hey man thanks for this suggestion. I bought a Cudy LT450 router (I emailed Cudy support and they said LT450 and LT500 are the same chip and only look different), and and set the TTL to 64 and worked like a charm. Data is seen as mobile data and not tethered data.

Also you can manually set the band on there but it seems like i'm in an area with good band 4 connection. Getting 30-60Mbs download. This is the perfect setup for on the go for vacation airbnb or travel for work hotel situations. I know you can probably use a hotspot like the M2100, but this works for 60 bucks.

I see the $60 price and I'm tempted to get another one. But if there's a way to USB tether the TMOHS1 hotspot, it might do the trick for much cheaper. I personally got a cheaper cudy AC1200 router without the LTE and paired it with a 5G gateway. It's more expensive overall but I get 100-300 download speeds.

I guess it depends on your application, how mobile you need to be, the speed you want and the price you want. So here are the most popular Options:

TMOHS1 or Franklin hotspots: cheapest options, 4G, mobile and requires some tinkering but pretty easy with the instructions posted here, free-$20 cost

Inseego 2100 hotspot : fast 5G speeds, mobile hotspot, no need for messing with it, but pricey at around $150, but could possibly get as low as $100

Cudy LTE router: more of a home router solution, 4G speeds, very easy to just log into router and change a setting, no need for other equipment, currently as low as $60, but could go higher when sale ends or price could keep dropping. Might take a little work to get $60 price though

Cudy AC1200 router (and probably AX router as well) paired with a 4G or 5G modem/gateway : another home solution, more options on the set up, but also a wider price range, could come out cheaper . Similar to the LTE but requires more work since you need to pair it with another device. Price for the AC1200 could be as low as $22 on ebay or as much as $35-40 new on Amazon for AC1200 and faster AX models. The current price for a 5g21 tmobile 5G gateway on eBay is around $70 and the Kvd21 is a little more expensive but not much more performance if any. But you can use any unlocked 4G or 5G modem as well. I have an older netgear 4G modem which works about the same as the TMOHS1. So let's say this option is around $110.
(remember, TTL for 5g21 is 68 on the router, not the usual 64/65)

Tmobile home LTE /Asus router prehacked on ebay: this is an easy home solution, just buy and plug and play, but a little pricey at $130 and limited to 4G speeds:

This is probably a dumb question, and I'm sorry if this was asked before. But could you buy 3 of these hotspot routers and set them up with the same name and password and use them like a pseudo mesh network?

Probably, but won't be so smooth. The Cudy on Amazon has a promotion currently that comes with a mesh extender

It depends which part of a network you refer to. This will work if you just mean devices connecting to the same internet at different physical locations, but what will not work is LAN traffic as it is 3 separate networks.

I suddenly no longer can receive texts sent to my TMOHS1 device using this plan's SIM anymore. Anyone else?

Thanks so much for the summary, repped!

I didn't know about Cudy AC1200 + 5G modem method, I will try it out. Thanks again.

I did it via chat like 2 weeks ago, but they added like Norton Security for mobile $5/Month and they had messed up and used wrong promo code for the free tablet (They had put T962 as Promo Code for free tablet so it would give me $6 something Credit per month so for 2 months it will cost me around $50 for the free tablet, after credits)

I had to ask T-Force on Twitter, they removed the Norton Security, I still had to pay like prorated charge for it and Take out T962 promo code and put T964 in as Promo code (they had to wait 48 hours inbetween) and now I will get $8 something credit per month, so over 2 years, the tablet will become free, I just had to pay taxes on the tablet ($20 cause 9% something of $200 retail price and activation charge of $35, so I paid like $51 in total at time of ordering)

I think you can get $35 activation charge waived if call to order to add a line. I think they might waive for me if I had tried and persisted but I was just too tired after work and was busy with something so I just paid it.

I got one tablet already, but is it really worth $51 and locked in for 2 years for this tablet?
