5g router options

[drcdrc2004]

I'm looking into getting 5g router as theres no broadband in my area. 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?

Thanks!

@drcdrc2004  Provided that device is unlocked to use a different network Sim card.  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.
