First time posting. I purchased the pep wave max transit mini LTE (MAX-TST-MINI-LTE-F-T-PRM) a few months ago but after hours of searching I have not found a simple answer.
What sim card do I purchase with T-Mobile?
Can I use a prepaid? Does it have to be a Hotspot plan or can it just be unlimited data?
Do I need to bring my unit into the store to update the imei?
These are really carrier questions, not peplink. T-mobile picks what plans are available for the device, provides SIM cards, etc. Some posters here have shared they got the 50 or 100GB plans with t-mobile. You can read those posts by searching.
As for SIM card size, it should be on the spec PDF.
Forums like Howard Forums are more geared towards the carriers/plans.
Remember, Peplink is an enterprise grade device, and there are very few consumer plans that are compatible.
“T-Mobile Prepaid Mobile Internet” is what you want. Its a data-only plan.
Dont bother entering in your IMEI cuz it will work without doing that. After selecting your plan you will add the 3-in-1 SIM kit. This SIM will be what the service is tied to, not your IMEI.
