Can I use tablet SIM in the phone?

I understand that Telus SIM for a tablet plan (such as Peace of Mind 5GB plan) is data only, but I am wondering if I can use this SIM with old unlocked phone as opposed to a tablet? I want to use it to create a WiFi hotspot and for browsing, not for phone calls. 

  • I believe some have had success, but any texts or voice calls sent to the phone are billed at very high prices.

  • Depends on the terms of the original plan.

    Most Telus tablet plans have the caveat in the fine print;

     

    "Use on other devices such as smartphones will result in service outage and/or excess billing."
