There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Turned it on at the airport and took 4-5 minutes to acquire a signal. Had some trouble purchasing a plan/data. You have to be connected to the Skyroam Hotspot itself to purchase data through the app but the problem was there was no internet for it to connect to, so it wouldn't load anything. I had to disconnect from it and go to their website to purchase data then go back and connect to the hotspot and it worked.
I suggest purchasing a "per gig" plan so you will have unrestricted 4G LTE speeds. The plans/data are a bit pricey, but you pay for convenience.
Battery lasted very long since this has the power bank in it. I'd say 6+ hours. Could've been longer but wanted all my devices charged every chance I got. I did not charge my phone with this but it does come with a cord for you to do so.
Camera. I took one picture to test with and it was good. Did not use it on my trip though. Covered it up actually.
If you travel frequently to various countries I recommend this because of it's ease of use. Data is a bit pricey so if you intend to stay long in one country I'd go with a local cell phone company and getting a prepaid sim like I eventually did.
The automatic reconnections to various data sources were seamless as we traveled around. There were a few brief connection quirks in some places, probably in the more remote rural locales, but in short time (in Italy, at least) it would always find a new connection source without much delay.
Some specific things to be aware of:
-- the battery lasts around 8 hours so if you're out and about longer it pays to have an external battery for a recharge.
-- the battery can get uncomfortably warm--apparently this is normal--so be aware if you should carry it in a pants pocket.
-- in the first few days of usage I noticed that my available data got eaten up much more quickly than I expected. Since I was taking many photos and these were syncing with my cloud storage service I turned that feature off on my phone (same for the wife), but even then it dwindled quickly and I never figured out what other apps were eating it up. A 1 GB data purchase lasted only a day or so. Then 5 GB lasted only 4-5 days. So I bought the unlimited 30-day plan and was good for the remainder of the 4-week trip. BUT I didn't read the fine print that only the first 20 GB of the unlimited data is high-speed. After that it's throttled down to 3G speed. 3G was sufficient for most things like messaging, buying train tickets, live directions on Google Maps, etc. I commented to the Skyroam/Solis company that they should give user tips on how to conserve data (other than turning the unit off!). This would be helpful for SIM card buyers as well.
Top reviews from other countries
days were
1 try turning it on and off
2 try moving it to another position
3 you can’t connect because you’re using too much data and need to buy a monthly plan - this despite it not connecting and the 107 error message - unable to connect to a local provider.
I asked who their local provider was and they responded
1 we can’t tell you but they’re all tier 1
2 we can’t tell you but you can look in the open signal app to see them
3 we can’t tell you as we’re constantly updating them
4 the local provider is Ncell and they don’t have coverage where you are.
FYI - NCell is Nepal’s largest telecom company and according to these guys they don’t have coverage in Kathmandu (Capital & largest city), Chitwan (4th largest city and Pokhara (2nd largest city).
FYI - the open signal app showed NCell signal strength and down load speeds were high for my entire trip.
FYI - my iPone was connected to NCell the entire trip and had no issues downloading data.
Simply didn’t work and they haven’t responded to my last three emails asking for assistance - over a week waiting for a response despite multiple requests.
