    I bought this as a bundle with a Simple Mobile Hotspot. The Hotspot was defective and so was the replacement that was sent to me. I tried returning this, but digital cards cannot be refunded…now I’m stuck with a useless card.

    I purchased this to have a backup Hotspot for my child’s school work. Heaven knows with COVID students are stressed out enough. So having a backup to ease her mind was well worth the money I had to spend for the Hotspot device & the monthly plan. I wish internet wasn’t so expensive

    Great WiFi, have not had an issue getting service, Can be slow at times, if not on a T-Mobile tower but that’s to be expected. Price is average for a hot spot. Would like to see a better pricing for only 40gig.

    The hotspot setup is bad. Bought a bunch of hotspots for my business as a backup. Just in case, but you have to have a subscription. As soon as you use the data it runs out in 30 days. No good.

    Terrible scam product. Do not easte your time and money with this. Best Buy will not refund your money if you purchase the first month's service even if you have paid for everything in their store. Good luck trying to get a refund from Simple Hotspot. There should be a slot for zero stars, because that's what they really deserve. Shame on Best Buy for dealing with a dishonest entity like that!
