O2 Contract Free SIM Card

[PHollers]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if an O2 contract free SIM card will work in a mobile router ?

For example, if I was the buy this SIM card:

Would this work in a device like this ?  I presumed it would, but I read a couple of reviews that said these SIM cards only work in phones.

Many thanks for any help

That looks like a standard pay as you go sim @PHollers 

You need a data sim - like these:

@gmarkj  Thank you,  I notice during the checkout procedure, I am asked if my device is "5G ready" but these mobile routers are not, so providing I answer "no" to that, should this work ?

Many Thanks

It shouldn't make much of a difference to be honest @PHollers 

5G sim cards will also work on 4G (and older bands). 4G ones just won't recognise the 5G signal.
