Good but not 5 stars so

It works but I can't give 5 stars because "Standard" is T-Mobile. So you need to create a "manual" provider, and after several attempts, it will use the SIM card for anyone other than T-Mobile. Yes, he's unblocked, but he wants to use T-Mobile as his default carrier. The rest still works.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Repair

No longer working for T-Mobile US

The device with the T-Mobile SIM card has not connected to the network. Went to the T-Mobile store and the technician checked the device ID, the system replied that it is not supported. T Mobile recently upgraded its network to 5G, many old non-T Mobile branded devices are dead as a brick.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Damaged

decent device for easy internet connection and short range wi-fi

The ZTE Falcon modem used worked as expected. I bought this device to have an inexpensive temporary internet connection for a desktop PC and a couple of wireless cameras in a house under construction.

The ZTE worked great as a PC Internet gateway with a separate wireless router connected to the network…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • vanishes

Works with Google Fi data-only SIM card

Delivery delayed. The battery has not been charged. I have contacted the company. They said there is a (almost invisible) piece of transparent tape over the battery connectors. You must remove this tape, otherwise there will be no connection. When I did that, the battery seemed to be working fine. I set this up using a Google Fi data-only SIM card (APN h2g2). Enter the setup page after inserting the SIM card and connecting to the SSID. The last step is crucial: go back to the home page and…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
