Customer Reviews
See what our users say about their experience
Easy to set up and worked right away. Used it for my business trip and didn’t lose signal once. Way better than buying local SIMs each time.
Wasn’t sure at first but it actually worked great. Got data the second I landed and speed was solid everywhere. Super handy for travel.
Used it while in the UAE and had full signal the whole week. Even worked great in the desert tour area. Really happy with it.
Honestly just simple and works. Installed fast, no weird setup, and data stayed strong during my trip. Would use again for sure.
