Currently working remotely and hotspoting off the phone. If I were to purchase a 4g router and used that instead of a phone would the carrier consider the router to be a hotspot?

Note some plans will specify personal mobile device only, i.e. SIM is supposed to be used in a mobile phone only. I have heard of some MNVOs enforcing this, but no harm in trying.
