Can I use the LTE or Pure 5G SIM Card in another device?
Pure LTE (MTN) SIM Cards
Only approved CAT6 devices will work on the MTN LTE-A Network.
This range of devices includes:
- BROVI: 5G CPE 5 H155-381, 5G H155-382, 5G H352-381
- HUAWEI: 5G CPE PRO 2, 5G-SIC-100, H155-386

Please note that Pure Wireless (MTN) will only work with the above-approved devices. If you insert your SIM card into a device that has not been approved by MTN (for example a Huawei B311 or Huawei B315) the SIM card will be blocked, and you will lose internet access. You will then need to contact our Support team to get the SIM card unblocked once you have the correct device.
