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.

I did look at H20 $60 a year plan, but my understanding is it doesn't include any data so you can't get MMS (messages with a picture or video). US Mobile another option. They advertise a $5 plan that's actually $8.57 after fees and comes with 2,500 Talk & Text per month with 500MB of data. I have some relatives (who don't use Google Voice) on that US Mobile plan along with the $10 T-Mobile tablet plan for unlimited data. US mobile has an ongoing promotion where you get a 100 day trial if you port in a number, and they support eSIM for both iPhone and Adroid.

It has become extremely reliable, as good as a regular cell plan.
And, it's great for overseas travel in getting notifications as long as there is WiFi, that can be available if you bring the $10 T-Mo tablet with you to serve as a hotspot.
But, Metro by T-Mobile has a $25/mo., $300/yr, plan with port-in is another option:

I just picked up a Verizon-branded Inseego MiFi X Pro M3100 (t-mobile version is the M3000). So that has me having tried out the TMOHS1, Inseego M2000 (does not work without modding), Inseego M2100, Orbic 5G, Inseego M3100.
I've posted various speed test results from San Francisco, CA in my previous posts comparing my Verizon SIM and this T-Mobile plan in each hotspot comparing to LTE speeds on my iPhone 11 and iPad Mini 6 LTE and Sonic fiber home internet speeds.
Summary thoughts:
- I've tested out two Orbic 5G devices with the same firmware. My newer one consistently got much better cellular speeds on Verizon than my older one (400mbps vs 200-300mbps). Strange! I can't comment on T-Mobile speeds since T-Mobile has blocked one Orbic, and the other had an activation problem, so the hotspot is probably not activating correctly except on Verizon.
- the Inseego M3100 is a touch faster than the Orbic 5G on Verizon; about 500mbps down vs 400-500mbps down.
- the Inseego M2100 is FASTER than the M3100 on T-Mobile; at home, I get about 45-50mbps down vs 25-30mbps down. (When my first Orbic 5G worked on T-Mobile, I think the speed was comparable to that on the M2100.) Outside of my house, I've gotten 150-250mbps on the M2100 on T-mobile. I will test out speeds on the M3100 while out and about.
Not sure I want to try a lot of usage on hotspot Wi-Fi data. My Orbic was one of the few that got flagged by T-Mobile, but not sure why me and not others. (I only used about 20GB in a month.)
That is not correct, the TMO app updates data usage every 30 or so minutes even for business accounts.
For the Inseego M3100 and the M2100, both report "Web Access."
For the Inseego M3100 and the M2100, both report "Web Access."
Are you talking about the TFB portal or the iPhone/Android app? The latter is about 1-2 GB exact compared to my router's reported WAN usage. The TFB portal indeed does not seem to have any useful basis for the shown data usage.
