I bought a 4GEEWIFI device with a EE pay as you go SIM card (bought like that). I would like to know if I go to another country, would I be able to buy a different SIM card from that country and use my 4GEEWIFI device?

Hi @Carolina_72.

 

Welcome to the community.

 

Where did you buy the device from?

 

Did the SIM come with it?

Depending where you bought it the device might need unlocking to accept another SIM.

It'll probably need unlocking but you can test it 1st by seeing if it works with another network's SIM, say with a free O2 PAYG SIM.

Not yet Jon as the only SIM cards I have at the moment are EE ones. And am unable to get another for the next couple of months. But will do that when I can and see if it works or not.
