Finding suitable data plans to meet home and work needs is always a challenge. This becomes even more challenging as a Peplink Routers needs data plans designated specially for use in BYOD (bring your own device) cellular embedded routers.
This special video webinar goes over the considerations for finding plans for use on a Peplink, our current top pick plans, activating plans and using 3rd Party Reseller plans. It's hosted by Cherie of MIRC, and Erik of MMH.

The comments near the beginning of the video of how hard it can be to pair these peplink devices with the cellular networks is spot on.... at least where VZ is concerned. I spent a total of about 6 hours on the phone, on line and in their stores trying to get their service to work with my peplink router. As mentioned, their system says the device is compatible but no one could find a data plan that worked with it. Finally, I gave up and went to T-Mobile. 30 mins later I walked out, stepped into my RV, input the SIM card and had working internet.

I was glad to see the information about texting to the pepwave. When I got mine (march of 2021) I could not get that feature to work. I ended up sticking the sim card into an old phone, then texting to that phone to get the code that AT&T needed. After watching your video I thought I would try it again since he said that they did some problems in the past. I updated the firmware to 8.2.1 for my MAX-BR1-MK2. The texting still does not work. Any ideas how to fix this for the future?

We've not encountered any issues with it.

Do you know if Xfinity/Comcast which I belive uses Verizon networks participates in these data plans?

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Рік тому

They only have smartphone plans, not for data devices like this.

Looking to use some type of 5G/LTE router, I see SIM cards that are data plan SIM cards with XXGB of hotspot internet included. Would that router use the "data plan" or would it be considered a "hotspot" as its consuming data?

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Рік тому

Routers need data device plans - use the 'Routers' filter on our top pick data plans to see what are great options: www.rvmobileinternet.com/planpicks

it seems that Verizon is no longer offering new plans to work in pepwave routers. I've been struggling with them all week. I can't even count the number of hours I've spent dealing with this through escalated phone calls and store managers. I have a new hotspot plan that quit working Sunday after a week and a half. I was told it's no longer an authorized device by several reps (incorrect information). After being escalated multiple times, they've determined it is an authorized device, but there are no plans offered to work with pepwave. Entering a store IMEI # or putting the sim in an old jetpack and moving it over does not work either. I'm wondering if this change happened with the rollout of the new plans and maybe only new lines/devices are being kicked out

Thanks for the heads up. We'll keep our eyes out for any other reports.

You are supposed to be able to use the SCAN function via webcam to load an eSim that comes only as QR code. Do you know if this works?

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 2 місяці тому

No, a router does have the ability to scan a QR code... that only works with smartphones and tablets that have cameras.

@harleysoltes 2 місяці тому

I ended up asking Peplink also and they say yes you can enter QR code for eSim in eSim rated routers (Max BR1 Pro 5 G for one) through the webcam of the computer you access the Peplink cloud from. @@MobileInternetResourceCenter
