Unlocking 4G router

Hi, I am travelling to Lebanon soon and wonder if I can use my EE 4G router there? I suppose i'd need a local sim card, but would i be able to use it with the router?

Hi @stefanrusev

It depends on which one you have as they tend to have limited bandwidths/frequency which might be different than your intended country.

To unlock see here:

Thanks

@stefanrusev : These EE mobile routers are designed for working in Europe.

Where did you yourself get this device itself originally? Did you buy it yourself new direct from EE or from a 3rd-party reseller or is it 2nd-hand? The unlocking process & costs are different. Was it originally on contract or PAYG? How old is it? EE won't unlock contract devices less than 6 months old.
