GREAT device!
Used it in HK, Japan and Vancouver BC and it works really well for me.
Not sure why others were having issues with the device. I was able to connect and use my phone to make and receive calls on VIber and Skype. Highly recommend it. Have not tried yet in the US but will the first chance I get. |

My brother got back from Japan this weekend said it worked decently there... let us know what you think!
Now I am back in San Francisco area, it is still very unreliable.... I use Google Voice and I pretty much miss calls from Uber driver all the time.. I am seriously considering other options but GlocalMe is hell a lot more expensive. |

I am seriously considering other options but GlocalMe is hell a lot more expensive. I own both, GlocalMe is great even if its more expensive its still cheaper than other options like Skyroam or renting a puck paying per day. The bonus of GlocalMe is you can add local sim(s) to it as well. I like my pokefi for times I'm going to be laying over in a county for a day or so then I don't have to buy a package for GlocalMe |
Has anyone tried pokefi in hawaii? Is itreliable there?

Pokefi inventory S&V HKIA
Main terminal airside and 201-230 gates have stick, Store personnel at 201-230 mention stock levels has been good since Nov 2017.
During busy time there might not be enough staff, let alone answering phone. Feb 7, 2018 |
Tried my new Pokefi forthe first time recently, which worked fine until it didn't. The Pokefi Team advised me that some of the devices don't charge and I might have one of those. I did have a 'non-charger', but I didn't have time to test it before travelling. Emailed the company, which did send me a replacement battery that I obviously only got on my return. :(
So if you buy one, check the battery charges properly before travelling. |
Hi everyone,
Has anyone used this in China lately? My mom is heading back to China in October and I was thinking of getting this for her for her trip. She mainly uses wifi for WeChat and Chinese news sites. Thanks! Lisa |

Thanks!

Any more recommendations for pokefi
Being currently in HK with a CX flight ahead. Still indecisive whether to buy it or not.
Reviews are mixEd. If sbdy has new advice, please share. Thanks. |
On that note, any thoughts on using this in Mexico? This seems like the least expensive per GB option compared to a SIM from any of the major carriers but the site currently says it's in "testing" there.
