iPad ATT Plan Alternatives
Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2020 11:51 pm
Hey all,
So my parents are in a bit of a pickle. They have a house they built in an area where the only internet service is a local WISP. Top speed is only 2mbps... not very fast. They were using an ATT account from a reseller for awhile which had much better speed but that guy just disappeared back in March. I found them an account on eBay which worked great up until last night. They lost service and their MoFi showed the sim card was working but was connected to WCDMA. We did some research and figured the account was suspended; we confirmed it this morning when I called customer service. The CSR said she had no clue why it was suspended but she reinstated the account.
Obviously I am are working on limited time until its killed again so I'd like to find an alternative for my parents. After doing some googling, I found this site which has been a tremendous help so far. I am hoping you guys can help me with my dumb questions since I'm new to this. My parents still have their MoFi4500 v2. So if they could reuse it that would be great. I read some threads on here about some people using T-Mobile pre and post paid after setting the APN and TTL, but there isn't a lot of other people using the MoFi units, seems like its mostly Sierra cards and other units.
My main question is, I'd like to test the service before I put them on it. I currently have the top tmobile magenta plan. If I put my SIM in their mofi with the new APN and TTL will it work? And what other options are available that would work with MoFis?
Thank you so much for your help!
