no, you do not need a machine to machine plan
what you need is a plan that allows a hotspot device / hotspot data. some carriers are strict about it, some aren’t.
Did anyone figure anything out here. I purchased an older BR1 SLIM and at best Im getting 5 Down 10 UP USING AIMED DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA. I checked the modem firmware and its at the latest version as is the BBR1 SLIM.
