Pros & Cons
Pros
Set up was a breeze. Very handy device for truckers. Great for in vehicle travelling. A handy and useful gadget.
The u2s is a portable hotspot device that works well in canada and abroad. It is a great way to connect to the internet when you are off grid. Roam mobility is a closer competitor, but their prices and data are a bit on the high side.
The initial data package that came with this hotspot is a global 1gb of data for 365 days. The data plans available are very practical and they are very easy to get via the glocal me app.
The specifications include the countries and regions of coverage. Used in south of france and spain with zero problems. It's also a great backup for us if we ever need portable wifi.
Cons
All data packages expire after 30 days. Waste of time, and an enormous amount of frustration and hassle with tech support.
Highlights
Quality

I love the product especially the speed of it works so well dint have a problem using the internet it’s very simple to activate... Read More
If you want wifi anywhere like rv or cottage this is your device aaa
Buy a data plan that suits you and then you just link each device you need to it, like a normal wi-if hub.
Price
Company provides discounts and specials on data packages throughout the year to help save a buck or two.
Cons:- the device itself is expensive unless you catch it on sale ex.
I had a hotspot from a canadian provider - but was paying $10 per month whether i used it or not.
Besides being really expensive, it does work well
Shipping
I was able to contact cs on the app during the trip and they were prompt and applied the data plan.
Bought a 30 day data package and in a week i'm not quite half way through it.
The initial data package that came with this hotspot is a global 1gb of data for 365 days.
The internet was fast but the packages can get expensive.
Packaging/appearance
I gave it a 4 instead of 5 rating because part of the box appeared to be opened/part ripped but the main seal was intact.
Competitiveness
Although the packages are expensive (compared to similar competitive products) the speed and stability can not be beat.
Highly recommended compared to use canadian cell phone carriers.
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.
The other closer competitor is roam mobility, but their prices and data are a bit on the high side.

This happened in more than one occasion so this is not a stable enough device for doing a job where you need constant high speed but i will be using this for cheaper internet connectivity when travelling as the roam like home prices from canadian mobile providers are ridiculous
