“Through two weeks of a four week trip it has essentially never worked baring a few moments here and there where it miraculously connected to the Digicel Network. I used it once for about 200mb as a hotspot before that stopped as well. Virtually useless and needed to buy a local SIM, from the same provider (Digicel) which works perfectly. This provider, in the Caribbean at least, should be avoided. Plus the help email responses just kept telling me they could not find any issues and to ensure I have settings correct, so pretty useless in that regard as well as they never actually found a solution.”
