With other hotspots, I needed to rely on the app to see how much data I had remaining, or how much battery life was left. In truth, the GlocalMe G4 PRO really impressed me.īefore the G4 crossed my desk, I’d never used a touchscreen travel Wi-Fi hotspot before. While we often stay in AirBnB’s for long term travel, having another method to connect to the internet when out and about (from calling an Uber to searching for a restaurant to using Google Maps) is awesome and saves us from having to research local phone options, picking up a SIM (which isn’t possible in every country if you’re not a local) and then activating it.Īlso the fact that all 4 of us can go online at the same time as well as have our laptops connected means happiness all around. Meaning no more relying on notoriously buggy borrowed Wi-Fi from hotels, cafes or stores.
With a dedicated WiFi device, it also saves on battery life for your cellphone (vs using your cellphone as a hotspot) and allows you to connect a laptop, tablet or any WiFi device to the internet.īecause we need internet for work and study wherever we go, it’s so nice to have internet with us everywhere. It also allows easier access if you’re jumping around Europe or neighboring countries that require a sim in each country. It also eliminates the problem with data caps when traveling and both families and friends can share a single connection rather than buying a sim for each user.
PACKING PRO APP REVIEW PORTABLE
Why get a mobile WiFi device?Ī portable WiFi hotspot can save a lot of money over cell phone roaming charges. Upload maxed out at 6 Mbps however that was plenty fast for what we needed to do. That’s plenty fast enough to stream a 4K movie.
Right away, my connection popped up as 28 Mbps. Once I got the GlocalMe up and running, the first thing I did was run a speed test.
