Hey so i started college recently and the place where i am staying at WiFi is a disaster, so i am basically using a data plan from my carrier and using my phone as a hotspot. Is there a device i can buy that will take my sim and allow meto configure an APN profile for it to use with my sim and then let that be the hotspot instead of my phone?

 

If so can u recommend a good one?

its an international carrier not AT&T or Version

We have a similar thing here in Indonesia, I dont know if they sell that there but its called Bolt. It basically uses 4G LTE and prepaid plans. Works like a mobile hotspot.

Device alone? So far i dont think any company is selling the device alone. But Bolt has SIM cards so you can buy SIM cards in your country.

I fond this but i dont know though, http://mobilewifi.telecomsquare.us/
