Huawei E5577Cs-321 4G LTE Mobile WiFi Hotspot (4G LTE in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa & 3G globally) Unlocked/OEM/ORIGINAL from Huawei WITHOUT CARRIER LOGO (White)

Very easy to set up. Works well. The battery life is alright, about 5 hours and the device does heat up a bit from being on too long

super for Germany or Europe

Just okay, battery life is just an hour and half not great as as specified

Past 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

I had to return it. It didnt hold a charge. Very disappointing.

Love it and it works great at deployed locations. Perfect size and fits in my uniform pocket unnoticeable. Well worth the money when you need to stay connected.

It was a bit hard to set up. Downloaded the app and it had a hard time connecting to the device. Once connected, it wasnt able to connect to network. I wondered if that was the reason why I had so much trouble connecting via the App. After some research, found out that this item is not compatible with Google Fi. I thought it did. Seems like a nice item, just wished it was compatible. I like that it is small and compact. Great size for traveling.

I got my device. No sim card and no info on a sim card. No one can tell me which sim car will even work with this hot spot.

I am generally okay with this product as it works to give me usable internet on the go and at home. I have two complaints though, battery life and network reception. If not plugged in, the battery life is only a few hours of continuous use so if Im traveling, I take an external charger or its plugged into my laptop. As far as the reception goes, what I get directly on my phone (not connected to the wifi pod) is always considerably higher than what I get when connected to the pod; this is true for indoors or even outdoors standing within clear site of cell towers. Now Im back on Amazon looking for the antenna that can be purchased separately and plugged into it to improve connection but cant find info on it online...

After 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.
