Hi guys..wanna ask is it possible for us to insert normal maxis phone sim card to a 4G LTE device?

Any difference tethering from smart phone (mobile data plan) vs broadband plan?

Thanks rclxub.gif

Actually no difference tethering from smart phone it consume more data only if you use smart phone because the phone sometimes update my modem usually it won't need to

yes you can
thethering frm smartphone in a long run will cost you the battery
while using 4g lte device ,u need to charging its frequently
there is no difference between mobile data and mobile broadband speed yo can use its both depends on the place and performance.

Most APN nowdays are pre-set in the device itself. No need to create profile or setting to dial.

Have you found the solution for this?
My XOX sim couldn't work at TPlink MR6400 router recently.
Suspect something to do with the APN as well
