I want a pay as you go sort of deal and definitely under the hefty £45/month price of the EE packages. Is it possible to buy an unlocked EE 5g device on ebay and then use that with an EE-network based pay as you go 5g sim (probably lyca mobile / BT mobile as is cheap and on EE network so should work I assume?) I have seen from other community posts that EE 5g sims dont work in third party routers which is why im thinking of this option, is this true?</P><P>Thanks!</P> Sat, 24 Aug 2024 15:48:24 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Broadband/5g-router-options/m-p/1425455#M31189 drcdrc2004 2024-08-24T15:48:24Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Broadband/5g-router-options/m-p/1425470#M31190 <P><a href="https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505137">@drcdrc2004</a>&nbsp; Provided that device is unlocked to use a different network Sim card. &nbsp;A MVNO network ( this is what Lyca mobile is ) might use EE but it doesn’t mean that network sim will work in an EE device until it’s network unlocked. &nbsp; &nbsp;</P> Sat, 24 Aug 2024 16:36:44 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Mobile-Broadband/5g-router-options/m-p/1425470#M31190 Chris_B 2024-08-24T16:36:44Z
