Hi everyone,

I have one of those Huawei B618 LTE routers I got when I signed up with Webafrica. I'm currentl on the 85GB+85GB package for R799 pm but I have just been told that I can get uncapped from Telkom for the same price. Will my router work with a Telkom sim? I jst signed up with Netflix and I'm afraid 170GB per month isn't going to be enough, and I'm definitely not going to pay more for more data. If Webafrica offered uncapped LTE at the same price I would gladly take it.
 
Buy a prepaid sim, load R10 airtime, buy data bundle and test the router.

It will work but only on band 3 which is not ideal. You want band 40 giving you a better chance of higher speeds. That Telkom uncapped deal comes with a B315 so you should not worry though?
