What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This little device works amazingly! Thoroughly impressed. Great support from glocalme. Suggestions are excellent.
Wifi distance for hotspot seems to be very reasonable and performs as well as any isp rental router would. Allows me to connect up to 10 devices while traveling - which means i do not have to pay for roaming for multiple devices. It's also a great bac... Read More
The initial data package that came with this hotspot is a global 1gb of data for 365 days. The top tier data package is $169usd for 100gigs of data and that's far cheaper than any available data add-on from rogers or bell. The data plans available are... Read More
Easy setup, comes with 8gig local and 1gig global. Very handy device for truckers. A handy and useful gadget. Really easy to setup.
Moved off grid temporarily to an apartment with no internet access. I'm central ontario, rural off grid and this connects to 4g as well as my cell phone. It's not as fast as my bell fibe connection, but i was able to upload a 500mb video to vimeo in u... Read More
Cons
Not easy to use, and was not connecting to wifi. All data packages expire after 30 days. Company is out of business. Court issues injunction to glocalme, ucloudlink to stop selling its devices in skyroam patent infringement case’.
Highlights
Quality
Product works as advertised and i’m happy with it.
I am canada with the na package, it works great, i get around 32 mbps on my android cell, fast enough for what i need.
That would have drained my phone's battery very quickly, with the hassle of switching sim.
The package activates as soon as you turn on the device, so if you plan to travel at a later date, but don't turn it on until a... Read More
Price
We are online a lot, so others might get better mileage out of their data package than i am, but it's the price i pay to be connected.
Shipping
The high speed was faster than my bell high speed at home.
The internet was fast but the packages can get expensive.
Competitiveness
It’s not as fast as my bell fibe connection, but i was able to upload a 500mb video to vimeo in under 10 minutes.
Although the packages are expensive (compared to similar competitive products) the speed and stability can not be beat.
The other closer competitor is roam mobility, but their prices and data are a bit on the high side.
I could probably get a t-mobile data plan sim, but the ease of pay through the glocalme site probably won't tempt me to fill in... Read More
