    This is a must have for anyone in need of a hotspot. The Solis is small enough to put in a pocket or backpack. Not only does it act as a hotspot but can also be used as a power bank. The Solis is easy to set up. There are several options to choose for the amount of gigs you want. It all depends on how you want or need to connect. The best part is the fact that there is no contract.

    Using this in a small Midwestern city in the US and it's working brilliantly. Strong signal, was able to connect and get online in just a couple of minutes. Did not need to use the app (I have an older device) and it came with 1Gb free to get started. Fast speed and solid connection. Bought to replace my old Karma Go and so far am extremely pleased.

    It has good performance, but only works best in urban areas. I used this for my recent Alaska trip and it worked fine for most of my trip. Though the mobile hot spot provided better speed than this.

    Concept is great. Software easy to navigate. Price attractive, especially considering the lifetime data allowance for those with minimal needs. Mechanically and electrically however, unacceptable; had to return the original unit and a replacement. The device wouldn't take a charge, even after hours were spent with Solis support on live chat, trying different chargers and cables. Through it all, BestBuy was supportive, couldn't have asked for more from them.

    So far, so good. bought this device to use while traveling to assure wifi access. It has been easy to set up, and works fine used locally. Perhaps should wait for more challenging use. It's reassuring to know I have Geek Squad to assist if needed.

    I bought the Solis-Lite 4G LTE Flobal Wi-Fi hotspot for summer Arts & Craft markets to ensure I had a secure internet connection. If I use it I cannot use my Square to accept payments. The Customer Support from Solis/Skyroam is non-existant!!! The website doesn't work as it NEVER lets me sign in, even changing my password EVERY TIME I want to log in. The device works great on our patio, but is not an option for a secure connection when used in conjuction with a Square. I hope it works when we are camping remotely, but I have yet to try it. Maybe it would be a good thing if it didn't work. I am trying to 'turn off' the service until summer, and I cannot even get in touch with the company to do that. If you buy this and have success with it. I hope you'll include that in your reviews. Good Luck!!!

    We just had to go through a cable less/ Wi-Fi less month and while we are T mobile phone users and had their hot spots due to towers being down the signal was weak. So I searched and found Solis Lite it immediately got us back online on multiple carriers depending on which window I placed it in!!! We Love Solis, and living in Hurricane prone Fl it’s a must!!!

    Excellent -just a little too costly for data

    This was an easy set up. Took me just a couple of minutes. It also works very well. I can't wait to get out where I can camp and make sure it is getting the cell signals for my data usage. Good point is that it uses all cell company signals and not just one you subscribe to. The bad thing - the cost of the data is actually quite high and I hope this comes down. I hope to be able to work on the road and I love camping. Bring the cost on the data usage down and it will get a 5 star for sure.

    Fantastic product, incredibly easy to set up and has flexible data plans. Never had any issue with speed either as it connects to whatever network has the best signal for your location.

    This little device was great on a recent road trip - I was able to work from the car while my partner was driving. The only frustrating thing is that a few times, (when switching carriers I guess), it would drop the connection for a minute. I got cut off in a couple meetings, but it always got me back online quickly. But overall, reliable, convenient, FAR better wifi than I’d get using my phone as a hotspot, and the daypasses are affordable.

    This works well but only in a T-Mobile or AT&T cellular area. Could not get it to connect in my town (Verizon area) until I drove about ten miles outside of where I live. Once it connected it worked fine and did what it is suppose to do. Worked with their customer support on live chat and first he said it wouldnt work in a Verizon area and then few minutes later said it should still connect to any tower. He said he reset something on his end and said to power down and wait. Still didnt help. Tried mutiple times. Dont try their emal. They say they can help then tell you to use live chat after a couple emails. I selected yes for would I recommend but it depends where you live.

    I wrote the company and asked which carrier(s) they used in the US because I need the hotspot in a place where Verizon and AT&T are strong, but T-Mobile is not. They refused to answer the question and apparently the answer is T- Mobile. I bought 1 GB of data of Go Data...speeds were good. Then I changed to an unlimited day pass, speeds were abysmal, so the unlimited come as the price of speed.

    Has worked very good for me. Your location will determine the speed you get. For the most part I can work fine from anywhere if I’m not downloading files. There’s some locations were speed is phenomenal. Love that I can pay as you go.

    Great WiFi for Travelers

    Great little WiFi hotspot! I bought this for my international travels. In January 2022 I traveled to Barbados and Saint Lucia in the Carribean and this little guy worked exceptionally well. As soon as I landed I was able to turn it on, connect to the WiFi and effectively have internet to get in touch with my hired shuttle driver and my friends. The battery lasted pretty much all day and allowed me to get internet on my phone at the beach, in the ungle, wherever I needed it. In about two weeks I used a little over 1 GB of data, but I had a bunch left from purchasing 20GB during Black Friday :) Very convenient for frequent travelers who don't want to have to worry about purchasing new SIM cards each time they move to a new spot.

    It works like it says I use it in my wife’s car for the grandkids tablets there usually at least 3 hooked to it but you do half to download the app and works a lot better if you pay extra for the data package
