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

I took in the SOC codes for TI and BOGO50 and the rep ran my credit ad had me set up in less than 20 minutes. Costco hot dog was my reward.
My online account also says that the taxes are included on each line. I purchased a Netgear LM1200 from Netgear with the Capital 1 shop app (IYKYK)and popped the sim in when I got home. I am posting from that device's connection now!
Is it possible to add another mobile internet line for $5? I need a line for a phone to leave in my car that's data only.
Correct. No international roaming. I gave up this plan when I discovered that I couldn't use it in Canada. I've changed the plan to the magenta business tablet plan that has slow international roaming. The plan worked on my s22u most of the countries I've visited except one, which always dropped my connection/couldn't roam. no issue on a54 on another sim card with same tablet plan.

Popped in the sim card and worked right out of the box.
Went outside and got around 85mbps on 5g.
So stoked that I got 2 lines for $15.
Much better than spending $40 for Spectrum on the land that I go to 2 times a month.
Perfect deal for my situation since I don't really need that much data just for wifi equipment.
My wife also work at home so I can use the other sim for backup internet if it ever go down.
Actually, I did. I took a chance and asked the t mobile rep at Costco about the SOC code. He was able to find that without any issues but he had trouble setting up my account. We tried at least 7-8 times and every time it errored out. Then he went to his peer and he did something and bam! It worked. It took me 30-40 mins but it was worth it.
The good thing is that the plan is $10 straight. No autopay or anything like that and it is a tax inclusive plan. I think my activation fee is also waived but will know more when the bill is generated.

Yes, it has international roaming. I told the rep that I run my own business and he set up a business account for me. I can only login via T-Mobile business portal and see the details
What countries are included and is there a data limit
