Here’s what you should check if you’d like to use a modem from another provider with our network. If your existing modem can’t be used on our network, check out the Mobile Broadband modems we have available.
Step 1: Check your modem is compatible on our network.
To provide you with the best possible experience, your modem needs to operate on all our supported network frequencies.

Step 2: Check coverage in your area.
Use our coverage checker to see where our network is available.
Step 3: Check your modem isn’t network locked.
If your modem is locked to another network, contact your old provider about getting it unlocked from their network.
Step 4: Check your modem’s connection settings can be customised.
If your modem’s connection settings can’t be customised, you won’t be able to use it with our network.
