Bought this portable wifi during Prime Day but couldn't use it until last week (October 2023) while on vacation.
This device was fantastic during my vacation. Travelled to 3 countries (Spain, Portugal and England) and 10+ cities throughout the trip.
The device had enough battery power for 1 full day (7 am - 9 pm on average) without needing to recharge in the middle of the day.
The reception of the wifi was great, no disconnections unless I reached a city where the reception was terrible from the get-go. Wifi was fast but this also depends on what data plan you buy.
Data plans are okay, they are reasonable. I just wish they had a little more variety, especially for those that use a lot of data or for people who barely use any data.
Cons:
- The device itself is expensive unless you catch it on sale ex. Amazon Prime Day
- The device does overheat. At the end of each day, my device was warm to the touch, but not so much that it would burn you or anything.
- Variety of data plans could be better especially where there are other companies that offer e-sims with unlimited data plans, pay-as-go plans, and plans that cater to low and high data users.
