Pros
Pro Best bang for your buck WiFi hotspot
When planning our honeymoon in Europe one of the things I began researching was how to stay connected. Obviously there is always an option to purchase a local SIM card but the cons outweighs the pros in some cases (wanting to be connected as soon as one lands; traveling to multiple countries), so I looked into WiFi hotspots as we used one previously with a great experience. After much research I found Vision Global WiFi among others, but by far it had the most helpful team and was the best price. We got the Europe package to cover us in Italy and Switzerland for a 24 day trip.
The device was shipped to us many days before we departed for our trip which put me at ease. It came with a universal charger and instructions (you don’t need the instructions; you just turn it on and it works!). Once we landed in Rome, we powered up the device and we were delighted to see that it worked immediately. It was also fast. We used it for our entire trip spanning the Amalfi Coast to Zurich (we had better service out on the Amalfi Coast than in some towns haha).
The device held a charge for so long we didn’t feel like we needed to constantly recharge it. The limit is 500MB a day and after that it’s throttled to a pretty useless speed. In regards to data limit I think if they could have offered 1GB/day for a similar price point it would have provided more value for daily use. However, we were able to use the device for minimal critical actions such as looking up a train timetable or using google maps in a pinch, albeit extremely slowly. This 500MB limit and throttling was disclosed to us from the beginning.
We returned home and shipped it back to them in the ready to ship box they provided to us.
I would highly recommend this device to anyone traveling to Europe as we had a great experience.
Pro Prompt on delivery, quick communication and easy to use device
Excellent experience!
The WiFi unit arrived a couple of days before our trip (as promised) and it worked perfectly! I had the unit on and carried it with me from about 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. each day. Never had any problems with connection. I charged the unit each night and it retained power throughout the day. Sending the unit back was a breeze, just put it in the box (came with the original packaging) and popped it into the mailbox. I contacted the Vision Global WiFi customer service team about getting a WiFi unit for my next trip and was very impressed with their helpfulness and dedication to making my experience as perfect as possible. Highly recommend!
Pro Trip to Japan
I rented two Unlimited Max units for a group of us traveling in Japan for 10 days last year. I asked some questions via Messenger before making my reservation and someone from Vision Global answered them quickly and courteously. The price was reasonable (even before the coupon code I got from a Facebook share post, which made it even more affordable) and the service was solid. I recommended this company to friends who traveled to Japan earlier this year, and they also had a good experience. I am planning to use Vision Global again for my next Japan trip this Fall, and am also considering trying them in Ireland next year.
Pro Great Mobile WiFi
I rented a mobile WiFi from Vision Global for a trip to Paris, and I was very happy with it. It was very handy to have, especially for navigating. I also used it for a day trip to London from Paris and had no problems there either. It came with a charger, an adapter, and a small carrying case. Pick up and drop off was also really quick, I chose to do it at LAX airport. Life saver
Pro Vision Global WiFi
I think Vision Global WiFi is the perfect solution to get fast, reliable and cheap internet while traveling abroad. It is a great pocket WiFi choice if you need portable WiFi to work while traveling or have multiple people with multiple devices who need to connect.
