Can PCsForPeople / MobileBeacon Sims be used in other Devices?

If so what are the limitations? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to use it in a Orbi LBR20. Thanks.

Its a true hotspot plan, so no limitations. The ToS say don't move the SIM to another device, but we've been doing it for years.

Thank you, I have heard of people needing to "provision" their devices when working with sprint 3rd parties like PcsforPeople to get better speeds. Is this necessary? I know Mobile Swap Shop provides this service. Thanks.

Mobile Swap Shop has backed off offer the service, as it's getting harder to deal with Sprint as they faze out to tmobile.

The only time you truly need to provision is if you want to use an officially supported device that has Sprint branded firmware. Those devices will not work by simply swapping the SIM. Devices with "Generic" firmware do not have the Sprint imei/SIM check built in and have generally worked simply by swapping SIMs.

That's been my experience.

Good to know, thanks for the help!
