> 3 dayAfter renting a unit like this for a trip through Europe, I decided to buy my own for an upcoming trip to Egypt, since at ~$85, the device would practically pay for itself versus the costs of a rental after one trip. I bought a SIM card from the Orange kiosk in the baggage claim area in Cairo airport. The device worked well overall. It was able to handle 4 phones being connected, and I got mostly consistent 4G LTE in populated areas, with occasional dropouts. I cant tell if that was due to the network or the device, though. (Far better than what I got when I had to switch to Verizons service for a day for reasons unrelated to the device.) The battery life isnt great, so after about 4-6 hours, Id have to charge it. I just kept it connected to a power bank in my backpack. Occasionally Id have to reboot the device when I had trouble connecting, but I didnt really think that was a big deal since it only happened about every other day. The app had some minor issues connecting sometimes, but the web interface always worked. So -1 star for meh battery life and occasional minor hiccups, but overall, I think this is a good hotspot for international travel.

Greater than one weekLike this product. Pros- Works good with Google Fi data SIM card with simple configuration. Cons- In USA, only 3G works but not 4G.

> 3 dayI bought this Huawei E5577-321 mobile hotspot for a trip to France. In France, I bought a sim from a Bouygues Telecom shop called “My European SIM” that was targeted to tourists which cost €39.90. This sim included 20GB and unlimited local calls/SMS in Europe for 30 days. I just had to insert the SIM and after a few minutes, the hotspot registered on the mobile network. I was able to connect to the hotspot with the SSID and WIFI key that is on the back of the device and also in the menu located under “Device Info” and was automatically connected to the internet. The APN was automatically setup and I didn’t have to enter anything into the device. I did setup my own SSID just for fun and it wasn’t too difficult if you’ve ever setup a Wi-Fi router at home. The connection was great. There were a few areas in Paris with low signal or slow internet speed but that’s to be expected just like any mobile network.

Greater than one weekI love the idea of this product but it didnt work more that half the time on my vacation trip. It would say it was connected but could get no internet access. Was most frustrating.

> 3 dayPast the deadline to return. And was not able to use it during my trip to multiple different countries. Complex logging in process on the website that makes it impossible to get this to work. Do not waste your money on this
