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.

The fastest I've seen on the LTE450/LT500 devices is 55-60 Mbps down and ~25 Mbps upload. Other low end cat4 modems, like the TMOHS1, should be about the same. A location about 10 blocks away gets me one third these speeds so it's obviously dependent on cell signal at the location. TTL 64 on the Cudy itself as it has both the LTE modem and wifi router in one.
So this is an interesting problem. The multiple ways of using this $10 line for home internet are:

1. T-Mobile Gateway + cudy - will give you LTE at the best because of the Cudy limitation
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..

I am going to update the wiki with this info and hope people can update/correct it.

What's your setup? What speeds do you get in your area?
So from the gateway I get close to 350-500 mbps, but that the home internet connection. I have not yet tried with gateway+Cudy... I have heard that Cudy has limitation of LTE... atleast the lower/more economical options.

Just curious like does anyone have this in T-Mobile 5G modem and home internet also, like will there be major speed difference (besides the throllting and hotspot)
What do you mean by 'have this in T-Mobile 5G modem and home internet' - Do you mean anyone has tried inserting the $10 sim in the gateway and tried checking the speed?

If so, I would think it would give you great speed till the hotspot limit and then throttle.

I have Actual home internet and it hits 350-500 mbps with the Nok5G21. I have the $10 sim in iPhone 12 and I get comparable speed - 350 mbps. I would assume that would be the case if I insert this in the gateway... however I have tried it yet, in fear of being banned or blacklisted or something..

If you don't care about 5G, the TMHS1 can be had dirt cheap. I got mine of eBay brand new for $15. The catch is you have to run a script to get it to not use the 10GB hotspot. The TMOHS1 is a much more reliable device than the inseegos. It turns on faster, better battery life, and it,s just better at just being a hotspot. But none of those juicy 5G speeds. 4G only
I have not done any script update on TMOHS1 and it still pulls as native data, not hotspot. Wonder why. Irrespective of that I think I should run the script to avoid being detected/banned. Can you point me to the link for the scripting comment please?

Hello,
Has anyone used the sim in a Android head unit?
Or maybe used it in any other device that the tablet that came with it?
I got 2 of the A7 tablets, but never opened them. I put the SIMs (which are on cards and not in the tablet boxes) straight into 2 cellular iPads upon receipt. No issues.

The Cudy router in your (1) above wouldn't be the Cudy LT500 I'm referring to. The Cudy LT500 or LT18 or the 5G P8 are a single device with modem + wifi router. For home internet, I personally think the LT500 works better than the TMOHS1 or Franklin but the latter two are portable hotspots so they're targeted for slightly different use cases. Nice thing about the Cudy modems is easy TTL (and imei magic if necessary).

The Cudy in your (1) above would be something like the Cudy N300 or X6 which are wifi only routers that you use in conjunction with the T-Mobile gateway 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.

Awesome. So the modem + router combo, does that have the ability to insert the sim in it? Or does it need to be front ended with a gateway device?

The wifi only routers, I assume those HAVE to be front ended with a Gateway device. I assume at that point the speed you get is only limited by the routers bandwidth so could be as much as 350 mbps? Plus being cudy allows to set TTL. Does it also allow to update the IMEI broadcasted?

Any options to update IMEI for TMOHS1? I found the file where the IMEI is and can update it, but reset after a reboot.

Yes, the Cudy LTE modems/routers do have a sim slot in them and can have their IMEI values edited. The Cudy wifi only routers don't have a sim slot so no such thing as IMEI change for those.

Thats interesting... so basically there is no way to mask the IMEI on the wifi router only devices...

No problem, worked fine on 3G through my whole trip on the Orbic 5G and was seen as on device data, though limited to 256kbps. Ended up going through 5gb without problems. The t-mobile site shows the data activity in the country I was in.

I did move the sim to a phone once and got LTE, still capped at 256kbps. I did not make it to any of the 11 countries that offered 5gb so no idea on that.

I have now moved that sim to eSim on my new iphone 14 pro max (global) and I am traveling again soon (Different EU country), so I'll see what happens then. I was annoyed carrying the Orbic around, it was fairly heavy.
keep us posted!

Been using TMOHS1 with script everyday for few months now. Nov. bill shows 175GB used. But Dec. bill shows 0MB. What happened?
