I got one of those $119 500GB/m Optus SIMs yesterday arvo in the post coincidentally and tried it. With an APN of "connect" I was in business. Shame the tower seems overloaded and I could only get 30/14Mbit speedtesting.

Using Telstra and Vodafone, no issues, Vodafone has a few generous plans with "unlimited" data

The landscape for 4G data access is always changing. I am trying to find SIM plans that will work in a Mikrotik 4G unit. I have ruled out some Optus based ones as the plans are locked to the IMEA or only certain IMEAs are permitted.
Here is a Telstra SIM plan with generous data:

So do Optus:

Now I see on Whirlpool people saying it's only for phones and tablets but in practise people putting them in devices that aren't a phone aren't penalised or disconnected.
I am typically trying to find alternatives to poor NBN-FW and NBN-Satellite services for rural customers. I know Starlink is coming and I have an email that their service is in beta in parts of Victoria. The addresses I have tried say later in 2021.
What are carriers and plans are you guys using these days with success with large data caps and decent prices in Mikrotik gear?
