Airtel 4G hotspot : ALCATEL WM40CJ or huawei e5573

[nimod]

Hello Friends,

Airtel is offering two models of 4G hotspots : Alcatel WM40CJ & Huawei e5573.
I want to purchase one but can't decide which of them is better ?

I would like to unlock my hotspot in future so that I could any SIM in future.


Thanks in Advance.

Under corporate plan, I had bought a ZTE W670 from Airtel which has a 2300 mAh battery and works straight 10-12 hours on one single charge
Later colleagues got Alcatel WM40CJ which has an 1800 mAh battery.
Reception wise, both work perfectly.

I can see that Huawei e5573 has an1500 mAh battery.
So make a wise choice.
Eventually, we all tend to forget charging our devices and a longer battery is an added advantage while travelling.
Edit: I could find one on Amazon ZTE WD670 black

How much did you pay for this device under your corporate plan?

I understand this ZTE model can not be unlocked while other two can be.

Rs.500. Their Dongle is sold free but it does not have wifi.

Even I could not find a solution to unlock.
However, I could swap-in any other airtel card(postpaid/prepaid) without any issue.
