T Mbile - mooving SIm from phone to hotspot
So I managed to get my hands on an unlocked AT&T Unite hotspot. I currently have T Mobile Simple Choice with Data, though I was never able to get my Lg G3 to tether.
Since I don't really use the phone much, I wanted to simply switch the sim card to the hotspot. Can I do that - will it work? Do I need to do any fixes/changes?

Can't say directly, but I had an extra T-mobile SIM from a promo a year or so ago (just pay ~ $4/mo taxes) and I put it in my iPad Pro and it works fine for data. Can't receive or make calls "natively," though.

I just did, and it works beautifully, In fact I am not financially worried - this is far faster than anything else I have used or have currently. This might cost me a fortune.

How much is your data and how much do you use? Tmobile data at my house is over 50Mb per sec.. almost as fast as my charter internet which is 60Mb per sec.
