I have used this SIM card in a couple of 4G routers and also in an Android phone using the Android "hotspot" feature and it worked fine.

1. settings -> wifi -> selected wifi network in use and selected "forget"
Now the phone has no wifi
2. turn off phone
3. insert SIM card
4. turn on phone
5. settings -> mobile -> Mobile Date slider to "on"
6. settings -> mobile -> Access Point Names -> + and set up the APN
7. terminal -> ping google.com then ctrl-c
8. settings -> wifi
wifi slider set to "on"
tap three dots
Turn On Wi-Fi Hotspot
Fill in network name and Password
Tap "Turn on"
Now another device can connect to the hotspot, and it cannot connect to the Internet.
