-
The Crosstalk Mobile Unlimited Plan is a data-only 5G SIM card on T-Mobile's network for $149 a month. It has no data cap, no overage charges, and no contract.
The plan is made for routers and hotspots and won't work in a phone. The SIM is free, and you manage the line from your online account, where you activate it, update billing or cancel.
Network and coverage
The plan is built for 5G and falls back to 4G LTE where 5G isn't available. Service covers the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Alaska, other US territories, Canada and Mexico aren't covered yet.
The SIM hands off between towers while you drive, the same way a phone does. We've run it in command vehicles and fleets.
Routers that work with it
Any 5G router that takes a standard SIM card will work, including every Peplink we sell. If you're still choosing, these are the ones we stock and support:
- GL.iNet Spitz AX: a compact 5G router with Wi-Fi 6 that can also use Starlink or campground Wi-Fi as a backup. It suits RVs and small remote sites.
- Peplink B One 5G: a desktop router for a home or office that runs 5G alongside a wired connection.
- Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G: bonds cellular, Starlink and Wi-Fi with SpeedFusion, so a video call keeps going when one connection drops.
- Peplink MAX BR2 Pro 5G: two 5G modems, so you can add a second carrier for redundancy.
- Pepwave 5G Adapter: adds 5G to a router you already own.

How activation works
- Check out. Your first month is charged at checkout.
- Within a few minutes you'll get an email with a link to set up your account. You need the account to activate the SIM.
- We ship the SIM. Orders placed before 11 a.m. Pacific ship the same day. Standard shipping takes 5 to 7 business days and express takes 2 to 3.
- Put the SIM in your router and activate the line from your account. Most routers connect without an APN entered, and we recommend leaving it blank unless your line has a static IP.
Billing starts when you insert the SIM or 30 days after it ships, whichever comes first.
Static IP add-on
For $5 a month you can add a static IP, which is a dedicated public address on your line. Choose it if you need to reach something behind the router from outside, such as security cameras, an NVR, a server or the router's admin page. Browsing, streaming and video calls work fine without one. A static IP line uses its own APN, and our static IP setup guide walks through it for Peplink and UniFi.
Common questions
Is it really unlimited?
Yes. There's no data cap, no overage charge and no speed limit built into the plan.
Can I use it in a phone?
No. It's a data-only plan for routers and hotspots.
Do I need to enter an APN?
Usually not. Most routers pick up the right settings on their own, so leave the APN blank. The only exception is a line with a static IP, which needs the static IP APN.
Is there a contract?
No. You can cancel the monthly or annual plan at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal, but it doesn't refund time you've already paid for.
Is there a cheaper way to pay?
The annual plan is $1,428 a year. That works out to $119 a month and saves $360. Businesses with 10 or more lines get volume pricing on our fleet connectivity page.

+$149.00 -
The Crosstalk Mobile Unlimited Plan, Annual is the same data-only 5G SIM card on T-Mobile's network as our monthly plan, paid a year at a time. You pay $1,428 up front, which works out to $119 a month and saves $360 over twelve monthly payments. There's no data cap and no overage charges.
The plan is made for routers and hotspots and won't work in a phone. The SIM is free, and you manage the line from your online account, where you activate it, update billing or cancel.
Who the annual plan suits
The annual plan is the better deal when the line runs all year, like a fixed site, a business failover link or a full-time RV. If you only need service a few months at a time, the monthly plan at $149 a month is easier to start and stop.
Network and coverage
The plan is built for 5G and falls back to 4G LTE where 5G isn't available. Service covers the lower 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Alaska, other US territories, Canada and Mexico aren't covered yet.
The SIM hands off between towers while you drive, the same way a phone does. We've run it in command vehicles and fleets.

Static IP add-on
For $60 a year you can add a static IP, which is a dedicated public address on your line. Choose it if you need to reach something behind the router from outside, such as security cameras, an NVR, a server or the router's admin page. Browsing, streaming and video calls work fine without one. A static IP line uses its own APN, and our static IP setup guide walks through it for Peplink and UniFi.

Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and the line stays on through the end of the year you've paid for. The prepaid year isn't refunded once the SIM is active.
Is there a month-to-month option?
Yes. The monthly plan is the same service for $149 a month with no commitment. Businesses with 10 or more lines get volume pricing on our fleet connectivity page.

The Peplink Pepwave 5G Adapter (ADP-5GY-T-PRM) is a 5G Ethernet adapter: a plug-and-play cellular modem that adds 5G to the network you already have. It converts the 5G signal into a wired WAN connection through a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port, so a standard gigabit port never holds it back. This adapter is purpose built for enterprise routing, mobile command centers, and industrial IoT setups, providing a direct way to upgrade your network without replacing your current router. It draws power using 802.3at PoE or a standard DC input, simplifying installation by running both data and power over a single cable.
Includes:
1x 5G Adapter
1x 12V 2A 4 Pin Power Supply
4x LTE/5G Antennas (ACW-235)
1x GPS Active Antenna
