I got the same a couple of years ago for around £13 (after cashback). Unlocked and debranded easily with the instructions above.
It's not 4G, but it comes handy sometimes, works well and for the price is a lot better than the similar Huaweis (it has oled display that makes more sense, has an external antenna plug, etc).

What does this actually Do?

Exactly what the title says! It is a portable WiFi unit, you stick a data only sim card into it and connect to it like you would with your router at home.
Limited use for most people these days as most smartphones have a hotspot feature that does the same thing.

Stick a broadband SIM in it and it's a mobile hotspot

Will these work abroad?
If I bought a foreign data SIM card for a week or so and used it on all my devices, could this potentially work??
Edit: what's the battery usage of this compared to others? Ta

The weakest point of the device. ZTE rates the device up to 4 hours of continuous use, and this is generally what I see give or take an hour or so.
Unfortunately, the device takes quite a long time to charge, well over 3.5 hours to full capacity. This is not something you’ll be able to charge for 10 minutes at the coffee shop and expect it to last an entire evening. More here
