MF833V in Australia
The MF833V rates good on 1 of 3 networks in Australia (Vodafone). On Telstra it is limited, missing B28. On Optus it is limited, missing B28.
In the field: the MF833V is deployed at scale in Australia and meets the real connectivity needs of Abbott and other companies. It lacks B28 (700 MHz), so signal is weaker in rural areas and indoors where 700 MHz carries the network, and some users have reported this; for full coverage in such areas, choose the F40.2

Network access: long-term roaming
Many globally deployed IoT devices use multi-network roaming SIMs that can attach to several networks in a country, but some countries restrict long-term roaming by foreign SIMs. A local SIM roaming domestically is not affected.
◐ No legal ban; it depends on the operators: No legal ban, but operators restrict long-term roaming by foreign SIMs for commercial reasons, often banning or tightly limiting it.345
