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.

What I meant was that with mms on regular mobile numbers you can send small videos but if someone sends a video to a google voice number I do not think it goes through

Nope, not yet. You can send photos but cannot send/recieve only photos. It might be deal breaker for some but there are good alternatives to MMS. WhatsApp and iMessage are widely used platform to send/review media.

I'm reading and reading this 116 pages (this what I have), cannot find info I'd like to get.
I'm talking about KVD21 and router.
I have 4G Cudy LT500 router with sim card slot for a long time, changed TTL to 65, Tmo reading data as unlimited.
Internet speed is not as good as other people telling here, about 20 gbps, may be because of location.
Decided to try 5G. Routers are very expensive, so got KVD21 from Ebay.
Sim card in KVD21 (cannot edit TTL there), then connection to Cudy, TMO reading this as hotspot.
How you guys getting unlimited from such setup, or what I'm missing?

Set TTL to 66 in the Cudy admin panel.
That works on the Cudy X6 and will probably work on the LT500.
Also try 68.
64 uses hotspot, maybe 65 too.
64 works on the TMOHS1 for data.
Search thread for: cudy x6 ttl 66
Also, Search thread for: cudy LT500 ttl 66
or just ttl, not 66, or other similar searches.

Coupling a 4G router, the LT500, with a 5G router, the KVD21, may not be a good pairing.
If you can get a Cudy X6, things may work better.

Your 20Mbps speeds may be related to your routers pairing.
Using the X6 and the KVD21 has been trouble free here, with speeds in the hundreds of MBps.
Speeds with a 4G device, the TMOHS1 are around 20Mbps to 50Mbps.
Good luck.

Thanks for suggestions HunterOne, I'll try them.

I don't understand logic of KVD21- router setup. TMO sees KVD21, reads it as hotspot without any router, right? Then you add the router, and suddenly Tmo reads it as unlimeted data?
Again, what I'm missing here?

1. Yes
2. Yes, it's the TTL # that make it look like unlimited data and not as hotspot data.
3. Nothing

It's unlimited but supposedly deprioritized after 50Gb, but based on my experience there's not any slowdown after 50Gb, or after 100Gb, or after 200Gb, etc. Deprioritization depends on heavily congested areas, but with the 5G there's abundant bandwidth available as of now. Maybe later 5G will start to get congested as 4G was and deprioritization will become effective at those times.

Did something change w.r.t. T9? I had been using it connected with router with TTL mod for several months. However, speeds dropped to 200-500 kb /s yesterday.

Never used the T9 but the only time speeds can go that low is if T-Mo thinks that it sees the 10Gb hotspot data allotment used and goes into the low speed mode.

It happened to me by mistake.

But, to double check on that:
Check your speed at the start of your new billing period.
If the speed goes back to normal it means that your device is using hotspot data as the 10Gb hotspot data allotment was reset.
Now, you have to look at the T9 to see if something was reset to defaults.
Perhaps it got an auto FW update from T-Mo.
Or, it's possible that T-Mo can now ID the T9 properly and it's now treating it as just a real T9.

I have the TMOHS1 hacked and its speeds are the same as before, around 25-50Mbps.
The T9 is sort of a cousin but it has different abilities.

Is it possible that your T9 is bandlocked to a Sprint band that's being abandoned by T-Mo?
In that case a band change will fix the speed issue.

Just checked usage and you are absolutely right. Usage is at 10GB and data is logged as hotspot data. I have TTL mod in router that's connecting to T9. I have no mods on T9 itself. So, I wonder what changed? T-mobile has probably reclassified T9 as hotspot and any data from it (regardless of TTL) is classified as hotspot data? What are my alternatives. I was using T9 + TTL 65 Router setup in car.

Again, not sure about the T9 and the TTL setting on it.
On the hacked TMOHS1 the TTL can be set to avoid using hotspot data.

May/may not be able to set the TTL on the T9 to avoid hotspot data usage.
On the T9 the TTL may have to be set on the device itself, IF possible, not the router.

Doubtful that T-Mo would have reclassified the T9 only as a hotspot. Most likely, it would have been done for the hacked TMOHS1 too, but so far that's working fine.

Try to see if the TTL can be set directly on the T9.
Search this thread for T9 TTL for more.

An alternative would be to get a TMOHS1 and hack it as it's been described in this thread.
