My Sprint supplier tells me that the SIMGLW106Q in 2FF size is extremely rare and may not be produced anymore.
Is there another Sim card that will work ?
Also, does any sim-card will be activated with Peplink IMEI?
I have read on forum that some carrier like AT&T requires a pre-activated sim card, because it is impossible to activate it for Peplink IMEI?
Sprint is the only one that uses a different SIM card for the LTE-A modems. Another thing that is unique about Sprint is that they actually lock an IMEI to a SIM card. In other words, you cannot take an activated Sprint SIM card and place it in another device - it will not work.
I meant “IMEI locked with sim”, but not a regular sim-lock.
So, do other carriers lock IMEI to a specific SIM card?

No, only Sprint is doing that here in the US. I also think this will change in time and you will be able to move a Sprint SIM card from device to device without issue.
Just to clarify, with the BR1 mini LTE-A router I can use either the SIMGLW106R or SIMGLW106Q with the difference of the Q will not have the fallback to 3g? Just wanting to decide which card to get.
