MIFI not connecting with new Sim

[Ham_and_Jam]

Probably been asked many times before, but I have a TP-Link 4G mifi, and aways used 3 PAYG sims (just regular ones, not data specific).

However I am going to need it where only Vodaphone signal works, so bought a Talkmobile sim (£10 / month for 100Gb). It's just a regular sim not data specific having used the 3 network I assumed it would be OK.

I've tried it today and there is no internet connection using the Mifi. If I use it in a mobile it works.

Is Talkmobile / Vodaphone different to 3 in that they won't work with mobile routers unless it's a data specific sim, or is there a way to get this working?

I have 14 days to fiddle with it before I can cancel so appreciate any help.

I have the same mifi. You need to assign a 'profile' to the SIM for it to work. You'll find this in the internet settings.

Apologies if you already knew.

I know roughly how to do this on a phone, but not on the mifi. Where / how do you do that please.

A quick google should find the settings that you need.

Perfect. Thankyou, somehow managed to bluff my way through it and it’s now connected.

Have a virtual beer from me.
