Do I have to use a data only package or can I use call/data packages?

When selecting a plan, any voice/data package can be used.
However the following should be checked :

  • Does the package allow tethering i.e. can it be used as a LTE hotspot? Certain cellular providers may block this feature on some packages making the SIM useless unless it is in a phone.
  • Check the monthly allowance carefully, is there an kind of step throttling as data is used?
    All unlimited data plans have a fair usage policy (FUP) attached, this should be checked as some providers will let you reach an go over the FUP a few times before they take action, others will block you completely when you reach the FUP.
  • What is the cost when you travel abroad – and is the roaming data allowance different?
  • Is 5G data included by the provider?
