Can I use my pay-monthly O2 SIM-only SIM card in a SIM7600G-H 4G USB Dongle?

Available from : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waveshare-SIM7600G-H-Industrial-Communication-Positioning/dp/B08BZKTZDJ

or from Pi-Hut: https://thepihut.com/products/sim7600g-h-4g-usb-dongle?variant=40340442185923

The board accepts a 1.8V/3V Nano sim card.

You can temporarily but any extended use will result in the sim being blocked.

O2 stipulate that you must use a data only sim in a dongle, mifi device etc.

Thank you. That is helpful. I hadn't noticed that section in the Fair Usage Policy.

Is there a recommended Data-only SIM to use in a Dongle connected to a Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi has a small camera and is set up to take wild-life photos. I am only expecting to connect to it two or three times a week, to check on progress, and download a few photos. Not using it as a continuous web-cam. Perhaps I can ask O2 if that is acceptable if I stay within the 5GB monthly data limit?

A 5gb data sim is £11 per month.
