5G data sim activation

ianhp — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 16:04:39 GMT

I have purchased a 5G data sim, and have installed it to the 5G router. I have full wireless coverage, and the router is showing both 4G and 5G 'signal'.

However there is no internet connection. I assume I have to activate the sim, but as its in a router I can't receive a one-time PIN.

How do I activate the sim without a phone?

Hi @ianhp

If you go into the settings there should be a text message option. There normally is on these routers.

Thanks

@ianhp : Does your mobile router have an envelope LED? That means it does do SMS.

Really you should not need to activate the SIM. Is it on contract or PAYG?

Hi @Aliahmad9900,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Are you in a 5G area?

Is your device 5G ready?

Are you using a pay as you go or pay monthly plan?
