Have a Business contract at home with a B612 router , 150 Gb etc
Can I put the sim into my mini router, E5330 and hang it in the car when travelling ?
 
Depends on what sort of service you have. A goodly number of LTE services are fixed to a tower, so you can't really move around with them.

Best is speak to your service provider.
 
Before I got fibre at home I had two concurrent LTE services, one from Telkom and one from Afrihost using MTN. The latter was locked to a particular tower.
 
I take my Telkom B315 router on holiday to Balitto each year....... just do a reset at new location, and Bob's your uncle

Ok, thanks. So best is to stock up on data on a spare sim I have in an old phone. Ta

Why don't you try it before you go?
 
Thanks guys, MTN assure me it's not fixed and I can put it in any router, anywhere.
Will try now.
 
FYI

It appears none of their sims are tower locked.

Went into the country, my sim in the E5330 worked perfectly. Good speeds in various places

Back home, back into my B612, on immediately. No fiddling needed.
