This is an excellent product and must have while traveling internationally and locally or camping . I traveled to Europe with my Solis, I was able to use my Solis with very powerful signal to make calls and search the internet. It was easy to install and compatible with any electronic devices with Wi-Fi capability. In summary, Solis is a must, if you are an international traveler

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.

Purchased product but when I tried to download the APP what a disaster, it kept stating that the version was no longer supported but there was no other APP option, tried to resolve issue with customer support, another joke, no one understands English, after a few days of cooling off tried again with my daughter's help and she too was having the same problems, after about 1.50 hrs on the "chat" site we finally were able to make a representative aware of the problem, they could not fix "the APP" but were able to sign me on, now I just have to choose the dates to begin the service. I truly hope I will not run into a problem again.

their website (set up) is cumbersome. Since this operates on cell service, if your cell service isn't great, connectivity isn't either. If you sign an auto renew and want to upgrade your plan, you have to cancel (and lose data) in order to be able to upgrade. This can also only be done when you are in range of the unit. I expect it will be useful when I travel since I don't connect to public wifi. even with the negatives, I would still recommend it as a decent alternative to public wifi or no wifi at all

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

I live in the country and thought this would be a worthy replacement for my horribly unreliable satellite internet, but I was wrong. It works ok for working from home and streaming movies (yay!) but because of cell carriers’ “fair use policies,” it’s unable to process large downloads, and I was unable to connect my gaming consoles to the hotspot. This is not mentioned anywhere on Skyroam’s website, and I had to contact customer support three times before I could get an answer about it, and even then their response was “it seems like it won’t work,” which isn’t exactly definitive... Their “solution” was to recommend that I pay for their pay-as-you-go plan, which offers full speed downloads at a rate of $6 per gigabyte. That’s just outrageously unrealistic if I’m downloading large files. I fully understand the limitations at play here, but some more transparency upfront would have been much-appreciated before I spent the money on this device and an extra $99 on the “unlimited” data plan. (Please note that because this device is pre-packaged with a free GB of data, you’ll either have to use the full 1GB or contact customer support to in-bundle it if you want to switch to the unlimited plan).

Bought this hot spot for traveling to Japan and Taiwan for my entire family. We had Wi-Fi without problems while in both country. If you travel a lot and need to maintain connected & share photos with friends and family while overseas , this is a good hotspot to have.

I love it. The Solis has really helped me stay in touch with my Wi-Fi since I’ve been out of the country I’m able to stream and watch movies on it and to connect it to several devices. I really like this device. Even when you run out of the high-speed data it still functions really nicely.

purchased to use while camping. connection quality was good and was able to use 1 device connected. any other connections would greatly slow down the system. do not expect blazing fast speeds with this. found that it was not even good enough to stream when settings were at sd quality and ended up having no use for it. it does work as expected and the daily global pricing was best option. i like that you can pay as you go so your not wasting money when not in use

I use this instead of paying for Wi Fi service at our little "getaway" apartment by the beach. Sometimes it works well but sometimes it doesn't. The "high speed" data when purchasing a day pass gets sucked up quickly & then watching anything on a smart tv is impossible because it will freeze. I have better luck purchasing unlimited high speed data by the hour which is one of their options.

Amazing device, my wife ran her computer for school work without a single hiccup for 5 days off the grid camping. We will be using this for internet services on all our future trips to keep up with my wife’s schooling.

This works really well. It finds a connection and connects within seconds. I use it to let the kids get online at the park. It also may be a handy helper if my internet goes down at home. I like it better than using my iphone hotspot.

I purchased a Solis Lite for a trip out too Lake Powell and I was blown away with how well it functioned. I've used a few other hotspots through carriers in the past and would ALWAYS lose my connection. I can honestly say I did not lose my connection once while on my drive from San Diego to Utah. Battery life was top notch as well, I used the device for a total of 6 hours on the road and got home with more than 80% left. Can't recommend this device anymore, very content!

I love my skyroam. It is very easy to use when I need to. I am a teacher and teaching from home due to the pandemic. I bought this because I don't have to buy a subscription plan also. The other day the internet went down in my home and I was able to buy a 24-hour pass that allowed me to have wifi for just when I needed it. The only issue I have come across is that you need to be fairly close to it. My children on the other side of a small house were not able to pick up the signal. All in all, I am happy to have it just in case.

I've been concerned about hotel wifi when traveling in the US and Europe. So I decided to buy the Skyroam Solis Lite. It works great and connects quickly. Exactly what I need for travel or if there's a problem with my home internet. My phone and computers connect easily. And Skyroam has daily or monthly options for using it, at reasonable prices. Definitely recommended.
