From this post
The multiple ways of using this $10 line for home internet are:
1. T-Mobile Gateway + Cudy N300 or X6 which are wifi only routers to mask hotspot usage with TTL set on the external wifi router. You can use other wifi routers for this purpose but there's a menu page in the Cudy routers which makes setting TTL easy - Courtesy waterchange
1.1 Cudy router like Cudy LT500 or LT18 or the 5G P8 work as a single device with modem + wifi router. Work well for home internet. Nice thing about the Cudy modems is easy TTL (and imei magic if necessary). - Courtesy waterchange
2. M2100 hotspot device - Hit or a miss - native out of the box but less reliable
3. Orbic 5G hotspot device - more reliable than the m2100, however some people have reported throttling after 1st couple of months
4. Gateway + Project Genesis - works most reliably
5. TMOHS1 - ~ 30-50 mbps out of the box, no TTL update required
6. Tmobile Franklin - ~30-50 mbps with TTL update - the most reliable as of right now, however limited speed.
7. M2000 won't pull data from anywhere.
8. GL.iNET Spitz GL-X3000NR easier to use than Cudy and better performance but expensive. Great form factor and performance. Presets for T-Mobile TTL settings and advanced cell features like tower/band lock. External antennas.
9. M3000B works out of the box with T-Mobile version. Has battery preservation features and ethernet port. Some users say to switch 5G mode to NSA if the hotspot restarts frequently in your area.
Add/update if you have more/better info.

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
soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

As far as I can tell, I need to call T-Mobile Business at 800-937-8997, tell them I want to open a new business account, and then ask for SOC code ZB10HSTI.
Is there any way to do it online? I tried, but couldn't get it to work. I was able to apply for an account and select the free tablet (which is a different one now), but couldn't sign up for the $10 plan.
I don't really want a tablet, but I'll get it and agree to keep the plan for 24 months if I need to.
Thank you very much for helping me - and other folks - with this.
I had to show them my fed tax id but if I remember right think she said a social would have worked also if I would have been a dba, but I am already an LLC so ........
I did not have to get a tablet they sold me just the lines with sim cards.
Overall, Rich has done a great job on my M2000 and I don't regret the investment I made.
Can anyone confirm?
I switched to tax inclusive and the bill credits did not apply.
When I look at the plans on checkout for the free tablet, the option for free tablet appears only under the tax exclusive plan. Maybe it's a new change? Not sure
Signed up online for free tablet + TE plan (I couldn't get the TI plan to work online either).
When I received it, activated and confirmed all working.
Called the business line, they switched it from tax exclusive to inclusive.
Contacted Tmobile business on FB, they added HD PASS.
Got notification I lost my tablet credits with this new plan, called them, they paid off the tablet for me in lieu of monthly credits.
Btw adding a second line, I never could do it online either, I just called the business line and paid for a sim.

Only call, do not try any other way.
Call the T-Mo sales reps at 877-590-4728.
Correct SOC code ZB10HSTI.
Also use code HDVPASS0 for the hi-def video feature. Make sure the rep activates it.
If it's activated the FAST.COM speeds should be around 5-7Mbps.
If not the above speeds will be around 2.5Mbps.
This deal is essentially a $10/mo. internet access deal, the tablet is just an extra bonus to access the internet.
Read my other posts here for more, and other posts if you intend to use the T-Mo Sim in other devices for WiFi access so as to avoid the 10Gb hotspot limit.
Good luck!

I'm still in the Verizon store and the store manager is a friend and let me pop the sim in a demo m2100 and works perfectly. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
I really appreciate all the work you've guys have put in and the knowledge that you have shared. I already have home internet, but I do a lot of work remotely and having unlimited 5G internet is God-send for those times when there is a power outage or Comcast is having issues.

Were you able to see if data counted towards hotspot or on device data?
Edit : Another interesting option is the Inseego FG2000, they now go for sub $200 it seems and have n41/n71.
Just a new datapoint - I'm sitting in a parking lot at a busy mall and have full bars of 5G on the Orbic. I'm getting 200mbps down and 54mbps up. That's pretty great for a mobile hotspot. (I don't have my M2100 to test and compare, but my iPhone 11 on Verizon that can pull over 100-200mbps on LTE is pulling 99/36 from the same location right now.)
Impressive to me for my needs in a mobile hotspot around town.
I can't check on-device usage since I only have a t-mobile business login.

I went ahead and ordered a m2100 from ebay. If there was some confimration on the Orbic I would have considered it, but there was no official confirmation. I didn't want to risk it.

FYI for anyone interested. With patience, these hotspots are obtainable for great prices. Another reason I'm going with out-of-the-box data options instead of custom firmware, but my needs may be different than your needs, as I am on the road and travel quite often and do not care to use this as home internet.
I paid on eBay after monitoring for several weeks:
Inseego M2100 - $105 including shipping (average prices were $200-250 at the time)
Orbic 5G - less than $90 including shipping (prices are usually $200-250)
