Hi ​@Kenw, 

Thank you for reaching out, and I'd be happy to clarify this for you.

Our iD Mobile SIM cards and plans are intended for use in handsets, in line with our Terms and Conditions. While an iD Mobile SIM may technically work in a compatible SIM router, router use isn't the intended use of our mobile plans.

Regarding your unlimited data plan, there may be fair usage or network management policies that can affect speeds depending on network conditions and usage. If you're considering using the SIM in a router, we'd recommend checking the specific terms of your plan before doing so.

We apologise for any confusion and hope this clarifies the intended use of the SIM.

Hi Owethu,

Thanks for your message and I just want to use mobile data to replace my home broadband.  I will need to cover my tv box for daily streaming traffic which I guess 10-20GB per day which I am not quite sure.  I tried to search the terms but still couldn’t 

• allow to be used in sim router
• allow hotspot 
• fair usage policy and how will it be triggered
• any speed cap

i don’t mind the above terms but I hope all the above are all clear written before I make my decision.  If anyone got any ideas on it please feel free to let me know, thanks 

Ken

Hi ​@Kenw.

Thank you for you post.

Please note that our SIM cards are designed for use in mobile handsets, so we’re unable to guarantee that a SIM will work in a router or provide a reliable connection for daily streaming. We also can’t guarantee the performance or compatibility of the service when used in a router or hotspot.

For this reason, we’d recommend trying the SIM in your router before committing to using it as your main broadband connection. This will allow you to check whether it works with your equipment and whether the speed and coverage are suitable for your needs.

Thanks,

Marquerita
