Simple question.
Do you have to use a data only sim in the WIFI router?
Can you not just use your normal phone SIM and the data on that ?

Yes you can.

This seems a good deal, or am I missing something?

It’s effectively the same product but for lesser months.

And the one I suggested is now £54.99

No you don’t but it’s much more convenient.
I used to take the SIM card from my phone with unlimited data and put it in my router.
But that meant having to then put a pay as you go sim into my phone to make calls, but from a number known to anyone who wanted to contact me.

If you want to use your mobile SIM in router you could use a VoIP number on your phone, but as you indicated swapping SIMs about can be a PITA.
