I bought a mobile 4g router from Argos , preloaded with data. I am trying to set up the app so I can manage top ups, but my mobile phone is with another provider. The app asks me to input the mobile number for the router, which I have, but then it says it’s going to send a text to confirm? How can I respond to the text? It’s not a phone? Also the router was for my son who is away at uni, so I’m not physically in the same place as the router??

Most mobile routers can receive texts. Login to it & look for the SMS Section.

Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin" or with the admin password found under the battery cover. Then navigate to the SMS Inbox.
