If using a phone line sim you need to follow the instructions above and potentially check that imei, if it's a data sim no action is needed.

May work for a little while, but then might be deprioritized because this IMEI isn't a phone itself. However, you can combine this, and the Tmobile $15 device hotspot that is available.

If you have a broken/unused phone and a bit of "Magic" it can work with no deprioritization. Otherwise a T-Mobile $15 business tablet plan would work well. (IRS will issue you a tax id free for your eBay business you plan on having at some point in the future) T-Mobile will only need that IRS letter you can print as proof and an ID.

The Tmobile business account $10 plan would need an IMEI and TTL updates, no?

Plus this Cudy New AX [amazon.com] is $59 with 15%. How is the current router better than the cudy I listed? Thank you.

That one you listed isn't a modem and doesn't take SIM cards, it's just a router.

Got it. Now with a TMobile $10 plan, I can just pop the sim and use it out of the box or do I need to adjust imei (can we even do that with this device) and TTL to make it use native data vs hotspot?

You can just pop the $10 sim in no settings changes needed.

If you want to use "magic " to change it to, so it will identify as a tablet, or phone, you can if legal in your country. Though I've read on various sites it isn't needed.

Some guy I read about in another country has a Cudy that identifies as a galaxy note with a smashed screen and adjusted the ttl to reflect on phone data use rather than a hotspot use.

What will this modem be detected as on the T-Mobile portal once I pop the sim in it? Also usually there are TTL changes needed to adjust device detection (or faking in this case), along with IMEI changes, why wont those be needed.
Sorry, what is this 'magic' you are referring to?

Thanks for answering!

"At command Cudy imei "

That should give you a YouTube video in the results (not mine) it may help but all you really need is the link to a "netbuddy.co" pdf document.

It includes straightforward instructions for anyone who has a router that identifies as a phones imei and just needs a little more help to be its best self. It has a link to the AT command line and the command you need to use.

On TMobile It may show as a random flip phone, but you do want to adjust the ttl to phone settings, I believe 64 on TMobile if using a phone sim. If the imei magically changes to say an iPhone then TMobile will show it as an iPhone. It's important that only 1 instance of an imei can exist at any time. So the donor must not be used from that point on.

What is the proposed TTL value for a tablet unlimited data pan (T-Mobile $10 plan).

I will need to get an IMEI number for a tablet.. I guess....

Also what was the "magic" reference?
