I have the EE PAYG 4G Mobile WiFi router, purchased from Argos. I am wondering what the steps would be to use a Smartys sim in this device?

 

Would I have to unlock the router? And are there any steps I'd have to take to connect the new sim to the router?

 

Anybody who could let me know the steps to do all of this would be greatly appreciated!

When did you buy it from Argos? Devices sold new after Dec 2021 are sold unlocked.

I bought it within the last couple of months. So another SIM should work automatically?
