Title: This is a BRILLIANT Product!
Review: I have an off-grid cabin in Maine and have debated doing the internet thing there. This is the perfect solution as it is easy to use, charges up and then runs for hours at a time, and I can activate internet when I want it, and bag it when I don't.Connects quickly, works perfectly even though I know the 4G local signal is not terribly strong. I love the flexibility it offers in such an inexpensive price and compact size.Brilliant!PS - I didn't receive any freebies and have no affiliation with the manufacturer-seller.

Title: Fantastic hotspot
Review: I purchased this mobile hotspot for a summer road trip to stay connected while working remotely. It exceeded my expectations, providing reliable internet access throughout my journey. Not only did it perform flawlessly, but it's also proving to be a cost-effective solution. Compared to my cell phone carrier's hotspot plans, I estimate I'll save hundreds of dollars over the next year.The device is easy to set up and use, making it ideal for travelers, digital nomads, or anyone needing a dependable internet connection on the go. Its compact size doesn't take up much space in my bag, and the battery life is impressive, lasting through long work sessions.I thought that I would never use it as an external battery, but that feature ended up being a lifesaver when my phone almost died.Overall, this mobile hotspot has been a game-changer for my remote work setup. If you're looking for an affordable and efficient way to stay connected while traveling, I highly recommend this product. It's a worthwhile investment that pays for itself in both convenience and cost savings.

Title: Works relatively well
Review: I've been looking for a hot spot solution when camping because my carriers coverage is spotty at times so using my phones hotspot is not always practical. This comes with 1 GB each month for the life of the device which is a great start. It's easy to set up and customer service was pretty prompt and useful during set-up. The plans they have are flexible and fit most budgets. Since I only use this when reception is poor where I'm camping, I'm still trying to find out which plan suits my needs. The only downside so far is the purchase by GB plans don't roll over so you have to use it in the month or lose it. I'm not a full time camper so I've lost a GB or 2, but figured I can also use this when working in the yard to use those left over GB's. So far this has been a great little hotspot for my needs. You also need to remember to disconnect from it when not using it or the background apps on your phone will keep using the data. Be smart shopping for the device as prices vary from store to store.

Title: Biz Owner -Worth it taking credit cards anywhere, off-site travel, and more!
Review: I have to say that I am very impressed with this product. I am a business owner on the go, not only do I have clients in my office. I also have them remotely. I typically use my Wi-Fi that is along with my landline in my office for video meetings. however, when I have gone, offsite should do events. Iâve had a very difficult time connecting my Square reader or phone to the Wi-Fi in different places that do not allow access to their system without a password. It resulted to me losing a lot of money out events were people wanted to purchase tickets if they were any available and did not have cash to give to me. so I bought this to go along with my Square Terminal to take cards easily at events when people come in. it was the best thing I ever did to invest in both of the products. by the way, if youâre ever considering buying the Square Terminal do it through Amazon itâs less expensive than Square (learned that later). so far, Iâve used this portable Wifi for my events with my Square reader very successfully. I have also used it when I was on the road to test the Wi-Fi system and take a card as a test you can see in the video. Lastly, one time I did something with my cell phone did not realize that I had turned off my cell phone data and tried to get directions to a new location. I had to scope out , pick it up on my GPS and I was trying to find the address I turned around and went back to my office to get this Wi-Fi and turned it on. I was able to get to the event location easily by picking up the Wi-Fi and connecting it to my phone. but the most impressive yet was I just recently went on my first cruise ever to Bermuda, I was very concerned about being able to access my emails and check in on things while I was gone to tell my staff member if there were any issues with things she needed to address. I brought this on my trip and also upgraded from my eight dollar plan I pay every month just to have it going anytime. I need it to a $98 unlimited plan to access Wi-Fi in Bermuda to be able to contact not only my staff but our adult children that were watching our dog and to check in. In addition, I had also bought the Norweigan limited minutes data plan for $125 for 200 minutes that Wifi bought from the cruise ship never worked even when we were in Port and at sea thar never worked!!! I could check my email through the cruise ship Wi-Fi, but could never send it out or check text messages so that was a waste of money. However, I was able to quickly in swiftly turn on this Wi-Fi system when we were in Bermuda and be able to check messages and text our children which was awesome. I had paid $98 for an unlimited plan in Caribbean and Bermuda and I also also had a conference that I just got back from that. I wanted to have it to take payments for books that I was selling and other products. I can say that I did use my laptop a couple times to check it and also my Apple pad and it lagged a little bit connecting to solos, but it did send and receive messages. Iâm not sure how it would be full-time using this a Wi-Fi system through a landline with say Comcast, etc., but this is definitely good for any Wifi spot, especially if you are taking and receiving payments at events or conferences, I am very happy with the purchase. It was the best birthday present I ever bought and itâs already paid for itself many times over with me being able to sell products and tickets at Event locations easily. iâve recommended this product to other business owners and friends. Many other portable Wi-Fi systems are extremely expensive to maintain. I am pretty frugal with my business being careful not to overspend on different areas. I donât use this all the time so I pay for the eight dollar a month plan just to always have access to it if Iâm not Iâm gonna be somewhere else for a day or a long period of time then I pay for a longer for just a day to use it or a month. Gave me a lot of comfort, knowing that I had this when I was out of the country in Bermuda to take along with me in my big pocketbook to be able to access the Whatsupapp and be able to call people if we needed a ride. My husband also connected his phone to the system as well as I did at the same time to be able to check his text messages and emails that came through once we turned it on. If you were a vendor get the system it is so much easier than worrying about getting Wi-Fi access anywhere you are. this is also very secure instead of going into free Wi-Fi access especially if you are doing any transactions and you donât want a way to hack into your business accounts. Highly recommend a product love it. Iâve been in business for 18 years and this is one of the best products that I ever purchased to help run my business.

Title: Could be just what you need
Review: My family is on a pay as you go plan. Going overseas it was either a sim card or this thing. I went with this. My wife did the sim card. They both worked. Regardless understand if you get this for going abroad, you will be leaning on some kind of maps app and that will probably be a big data consumer for you. Thats' not a bad thing, but it is a thing. Our kids joined us for two of our four weeks abroad, and they used my solis. No problems. No crushed tech dreams. It was simple. It worked. I like to travel light - like my phone feels like a lot - so carrying around the solis was a bit of thing. If I accidentally left it on all day, it was surprising how my data would get gobbled up.The upside is that when I take trips in the future, and am in the middle of nowhere and can't get a signal, I can fire up my solis, and if there is a signal, I can get it. That 1 GB/month is a beautiful thing.

Review: I tested this hotspot on many outings away from available WiFi networks, and using different devices: all Apple, iPhone, iPad, MacBook etc. The Solis 5G was super easy to set up and get going the first time, I found that it takes a bit of patience waiting for it to grab a cell signal, but once it does itâs solid, and works great. I havenât taken it on my vacation overseas yet, thatâll be in the fall⦠I will come back and add more info when I return, after having used it overseas. For now it definitely was a good investment.

Review: Well it does what it claims, works well we use it for our RV and all the phones and tv. We have used it in Oregon and Washington and British Columbia. Well worth it compared to star-link. As we are not always travelling, so it works out, and the subscription for pay as you go more expensive than a monthly but never runs out so you can use it off and on. ð

Review: Se entiende que debe haber restricciones cuando te dicen "Internet de por vida" pero con slots de 250MB cada semana resulta impráctico.En general funcionó muy bien en mi viaje por Europa, solo en algunos paÃses si hubo problemas para conectar a red.Las tarifas de plan en general son accesibles y cumple el propósito, sobre todo si lo que se necesita es compartir la red entre diferentes equipos.
