This was a no brained purchase for me.
I bought this for work, I work in some of the most ridiculous of situations. I work on big ships all over the world, I work in places that are in the middle of nowhere on land. This thing kicks ass. When I work on ships, generally if I can see land, which is roughly 7 miles give or take, I can at least get some service, not video streaming service, but email and necessary work tasks. When I work on land I am often in places where my cell phone has zero service and there is maybe one carrier in that location that does have service, the skyroam does seem to pick up service again enough to get important tasks done for work. I didn’t buy this to get great service everywhere I go, I bought it to at least get some service in the remote places that I go. As long as the skyroam device continues to produce service at the same price point where I generally can’t get any, they will have my business.

Nintendo Switch Companion/Must Have
Let’s start off with the people who have the switch light,I recently got a Nintendo switch light and knowing you could only play digital Media on your primary consul without Internet connection now if you have a secondary Switch it will require you to be connected to the Internet so it can do a verification check. That’s where this baby comes in granted I purchased this only for connecting my Nintendo switch not my phone nothing else not streaming videos I’m not watching YouTube, etc. for that stuff I’ll just use my phone data because it’s unlimited it’s a bit pricey to do unlimited on this Skyroam device. If you use it only for your Nintendo switch this is a easy way to alleviate activation checkingHere is the catch if you have a game on cartridge first game I tested this with was South Park I own it on cartridge but I own the season pass through the E shop so without internet connection you will load up the game and it will require a Internet connection to verify the DLC‘s you can start the software but it will remove whatever you have done in the game with DLC‘s meaning your load game will not load you would have to start a new game without DLC‘s installed. That goes for any game that you have anything tied to it through the E shop so far I think my Witcher 3 copy would be the only game that I don’t have anything tied to it through the E shop so I could upload and download game saves at home on my main and on my secondary and it not have to do a verification. now I did test it loading Google and Amazon webpages probably will be fine but that’s not what it’s for in my case the Nintendo switch in the Internet connection settings displayed a 1.5 Down and 3.5 up. This device seems a bit underrated when it comes to what you can do with it I never expected anything but my Nintendo switch to connect to the Internet without any problems so the Nintendo E shop can do it’s verification now this actually takes the headache away of setting my light as the primary and my regular console As secondary.Now with skyroams 1 gig a month no rollover for 6$ Was my target subscription due to the fact the Nintendo switch doesn’t require too high of a connection speed to function correctly online and to do the verification check.I will test other games to see How much data actually gets used.In two hours Of playing South Park data used 0.02 so buying a gig or two a month and taking the huge headache away of owning two Nintendo switches is a huge huge plus.I mean South Park booted right up no issue it was like I conquered the worldThank a bunch SKYROAM you got me as a customer and I’m loving it my Nintendo switch is loving it to.

Not a Good Thing!
This is incredibly unreliable. I used this for a year for recreational travel in the western US in areas that, for the most part, had good cell coverage (Consumer Cellular). It was insanely slow the vast majority of the time, or didn’t work at all. I can’t imagine someone trying to use this for any kind of work or business. EVERY time I talked to “customer service”, it was a middle eastern accented guy. He sounded like he was in a room with several other “customer service agents”. Very difficult to understand, to say the least. I had the monthly subscription, but kept running out of data and had to buy more. I finally got so frustrated with the POS I destroyed it and thew it in the trash. I tried to call and email to cancel. The number all the sudden says something to the effect that the number (their customer service number) is unauthorized from my phone? The next month, here comes another charge. Again, I tried calling but got the same reject message. I had to cancel my subscription through PayPal, but they didn’t help recovering my money.I vehemently discourage anyone from buying into this. I can’t help but think this is some kind of nasty operation that is able to see your internet activity.DO NOT BUY. DO NOT RUN YOUR INTERNET OPS THROUGH THESE PEOPLE.

Throttling makes it only for people that don’t need a lot of data.
I bought this for my wife so she could do some real estate work on the go. It works very well if you only need a little bit of data, as the plans are scaleable to how much you use. If you plan on using a lot of data for upload and downloading, I would go ahead and find something else. If you only need it to browse the web and email some documents once in a while, then this is perfect.Tech support was amazing. I had trouble setting the device itself with the iPhone app, but after resetting the device and using my laptop instead, it was able to connect.The device comes with 1 day free unlimited LTE Internet, but it gets throttled after something like 500 mb. Look at their throttling on their data plan. Great for on the go, not great for long term large amount of data use.

It works!!
I am from Miami. I went to Mexico, Turkey & Dubai. This Skyroam private Wi-Fi gizmo was great.It is small, compact, fits in my backpack, and lasts about 12-hours without recharge.I like having “private” WI-FI” When traveling.Great customer service. It has a 1-year warranty.Subscription to turn on for US or Global (122+ countries) you can purchase by day or month.It works! I got great reception in the middle of nowhere in Mexico. However, in the middle of nowhere in Turkey, at one point, I had no reception. Customer service told me it takes time to adjust between countries!Very happy that it worked where I stayed in Mexico, because the room I was in had no wi-fi!I was thrilled in Istanbul at the airport because people were waiting in line to sign up for the free Wi-Fi. They give you ONE HOUR free at Istanbul Airport, after that, they charge you.Additionally, you have to pay plenty for Wi-fi at MIA (Miami Int’l Airport), and the Sky roam works great at MIA!Very happy with the product and the great customer service.

Es triste reconocer la gran calidad de este servicio fuera de mexico y lejos de telcel. Estamos a años luz de ellos. Lo recomiendo ampliamente de hecho cancele mi plan telcel y me quede con el servicio de Solis vía wifi/

Worked well and was easy to use
I had no diffculties using the unit in NYC as well as Spain, France, Portugal and England. Connectivity was great and it supported mulitple users. We were on the go often and the unit performed as expected while traveling in a vehicle. Reloading 1 GB of Global data was easy to do . One thing to get used to is the heat that the unit generates while it's in your pocket or bag. Not a deal breaker but it will soften chocolate if it's in your pocket at the same time.

Smartes Device & endlich unabhängig!
Ich möchte meinen Skyroam Solis Lite nicht mehr missen - endlich unabhängiges WLAN, egal wo ich bin. Ich bin Vielflieger und habe immer wieder sehr viel Geld für Roaming ausgegeben, z.B. weil das Navi vom Leihauto kaputt war, beim Bestellen von Uber-Taxis in USA oder weil das lokale WLAN im Hotel einfach viel zu langsam für eine Videokonferenz war. Jetzt ist das ein Kinderspiel und die Kosten sind ganz klar planbar. Klein und handlich, wertige Verarbeitung, unkompliziert im Aufsetzen und in der Bedienung. Und man verlegt es nicht so leicht versehentlich, weil die orange Farbe sehr auffällt (wichtig beim schnellen Auschecken im Hotel). Einfach perfekt!

Good but get it set up before going anywhere
This item was a bit of a lifesaver when travelling but a bit of headache to set up...when I got it turned it on but would not connect to any signal and could not connect to the app had to phone the company direct given the serial number to activate item when brought through Amazon I was told I would get an email to let me know when it was activated but did not get any such email so turned it on anyway and it got connected to the app and started working would definitely recommend BUT definitely get set up before you go anywhere
