RWG MOBILE DATA GOING?

[Frogman]

I have a few 4g and 5g routers, none of which have any problem receiving sms. You log in yo the admin page to read them. Which routers don't support this?

My Teltonika 4G router has a forwarding function for SMS if you set it. Just as well, since iD sent a message to the router with a code to confirm the account!

TBH, I'm surprised that worked because I assumed you'd need to have completed the process before the router would be able to send an outbound SMS. With my router (a cheapie LTE) I had to log onto the Internet via another route with one device to access the Smarty or Tesco Mobile website to buy a month's worth while logged on with another device to the router's admin page to access the code sent by SMS!

I should have explained: I registered the account using an old unused phone before putting it in the router. I think the code sent on from the router was the final part of the account set-up. It's a very useful feature, goes straight to my (RWG) phone. Handy when a text arrives to say 90% of my data allowance has been used!

I have an ancient tied-to-Three mifi (so old, it's 2G/3G only) that doesn't have an admin page.

One that old will be of so little use thst you may as well call.it a paperweight. Three has no 2G signal and only has vestigal 3G signal in some areas. Time for a new router!

Networks get a small amount of revenue from each incoming call from a different network, which is why data only is not offered much.

OFCOM rules specifically ban networks from preventing use in routers.

So the networks rely on giving an impression that it's not allowed: they can't ban it.

Yup.Use a variety of sims from different providers in all manner of routers (and trackers) and never had an issue.
