Fake specs
I spent some months feeling sure that I had found the perfect router, the RUTX50, it checking all the boxes, except when requiring information prior to purchasing in regards to how one is to access a certain function (this being voLTE) the company (which had previously been very talkative) suddenly went curiously quiet. I sent three emails direct to the company, a message via their contact-form, a question put to one of their distributors and also contacted a stockist of their products and either no response was given or I was provided with convoluted answers that danced around the point (as well as a manual emailed to me with configuration-settings that consisted of no routing information).
Eventually, the stockist, following their many failed attempts at gleaning accurate details from the company, got back to me with the news that the router (the answer, implied, on behalf of Teltonika) does have some settings for voLTE and yet this doesn't equate to the usage of a phone-connection.
So, no voLTE. I would have wasted over four-hundred pounds on a product that doesn't consist of one of the main reasons for buying it and which, without its inclusion, somewhat takes away from the point of having a sim-router, i.e. to receive calls and texts from the sim (as well as data).
Furthermore, it has to be asked, what other functions don't really exist - does it have MU-MIMO, for example, or is their version dual-band (a more primitive form)?
False advertising, non-replies or convoluted ones, or meaningless settings displayed in a manual which is anything but comprehensive.
I like business to be clean, where companies tell you straight what you are getting as opposed to saying anything just to grab your money.
