T-mobile has a hidden plan for 30GB data a month data plan (you get your own sim and need your own device).
I got a cellular modem for $40:

Call in or use their online chat to inquire about the "Basic Mobile Internet 30GB plan (SOC: MI30TE or MI30TI)". It is $15/mo but you get a $5/mo discount by using autopay.
If you can't repro then you suck. This also provides you with a phone number for the data account and you get access to t-mobile tuesdays despite it only being a data plan

can be used as hotspot... already tried inside my MR6400.
It is $15 for year here already, it is still $15
It provides false information.
The autopay discount doesn't apply for the plan..
It doesn't!
The plan profile excludes T-Mobile SyncUp devices, tested and no data for SyncUp devices

So if you need a 5G router that you can't really modify (like radio signals) and want a zero dollar approach, you are correct. TMO will lock the SIM to the 5G Backup Router and you can connect that way. For those who have a 5G router, this route is not ideal.
But for the majority who probably don't have a 5G router, it's a great $20 option

I can show you my bill that autopay discount applies

False, had this plan for a year. I've had auto-pay on 2 of these lines all year no problem.
I've been paying ($20+tax) for my Unlimited Car Connect (Mobley plan IFYKYK) from att. I think after a certain amount of data it gets deprioritized, but if you are connected to a tower that isn't congested its pretty dang fast into the 100's of GB.
Pretty sure just deprioritized.
It's also limited when watching FHD media... YouTube basically requires I fallback on my Canadian plan, turn on vpn, or watch at 360p...
If you want me to check anything specific, lmk.
Wife and I have been supplementing our Canadian lines with this
You may have other plan, not this one!
This basic Internet plan with 30GB data barely for less than a year, you claim you had this for a year.
Read the description, no Autopay discount clearly states the the plan description
