Hi all,
Internet connectivity at my PG is terrible. That's the reason I have to use my phone to connect to the internet. I either do wifi tethering which consumes my airtel 4G data, or USB tethering which uses the PG's wifi. Both of which are unhealthy for my phone's battery
I am looking for a USB modem which takes in a SIM card and relays connectivity to my PC.
Requirements are:
- Should work on Linux. Fedora is my primary OS, but it would be nice if it on other's computers too.
- Should be able to receive SMSes. This number is liked with several accounts I don't remember. I will need to OTPs to access those accounts.
- Should be operator agnostic. Although I have airtel right now, an operator agnostic interface would be good in case I want to.
Note: If all the criteria don't meet, at least it should work on Fedora and receive SMSes.
PS: 8-10 years back I used a Micromax modem which has the last two functionality (2G era). Not sure if it worked on Linux too (the SMS part).
