Mobile Route AirCard 790s Telstra to be used for Smart Bro PH network

hi, I'm planning to purchase the AirCard 790s model from a second hand seller who claims he bought it from Telstra early this year. Was wondering does Telstra lock this devices into their network? Can I use them in PH using Smart Bro network. It says on this site:

the AirCard is compatible with Smart Bro PHI. But I'm worried that it maybe locked on Telstra if I bought the item in Australia.

Appreciate a helpful response. Thanks

    Aircard 790s can be unlocked. You just have to make sure that you have the Smart Bro network APN settings.

      Thanks! However I opted to use the Nighthawk M1 instead, as some topics mentioned its faster.
