I am using my new SIM in a Huawei MiFi device. It works fine but I cannot seem to register for an online account. This requires a text confirmation code which I can't receive because the SIM is not in a phone. Is there any way around this?

Assuming your Huawei MiFi device is not network locked @Laralike, it can receive SMS messages.

You’ll need to use its web admin page to read any SMS messages sent to your Huawei MiFi device.
The device user guide normally explains how to do this.

Alternatively, put the Huawei MiFi device SIM card in a phone to get the code.

Hi @Laralike 

 

We don’t officially support routers so we wouldn’t have any official way around this, other than to put the iD Mobile SIM card in a supported device to receive the SMS.

 

It may be worth trying the above from @andewhite.

Why iD Mobile?
