I specifically asked them about use in mifi and more than one said no problem although I now suspect this is the issue. I do have copies of the chats confirming that

Well, what's even more confusing is that some of the providers say that you're not allowed to use the SIM in a hotspot, but they don't actually block it.

Technically you'd possibly be in breach of T&C, assuming they cared enough to follow up on it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't physically work.

Other providers, however, actually stop the SIM working when it's in a hotspot. Pop it in a phone and it will work fine.

At the time the t&c said mobile devices only which ofcourse a mifi is, I don't know if that's changed but that site says it supports E5577 which is a mifi.

Have you tried the sim in your mobile to see if it works?

Yes. Activated it in phone and checked a couple of times.
