Cons
Con False advertising
Lots of important details can only be read in the fine print. It doesn't have unlimited internet, limiting you to only 5GB per day in 4G and the battery doesn't last 8 hours if the device is continuously on.
Con Not very reliable
The WI-FI can have some issues where it won't work despite being in a city, there are no reception issues, even within the first 5GB of use. Sometimes you can get it to work but only for a few minutes.
Even after getting it to work after you've used your first 5GB the speed will drop down to 256kbps making it quite painful to browse internet, because many times webpages will time out while trying to load at that speed.
Con Can't be used in areas where 4G or 3G is not available
Doesn't work in areas where 4G or 3G is not available. This may be an issue visiting rural areas in some countries.
Con The USB cord may be damaged
The USB cord that comes with the package may not work properly. It is used to charge this device and if you don't have any USB reserves when this happens you won't be able to connect to the internet.
Con Hit or miss whether it will work
Doesn't work at all in Italy, France, or Ireland. Works in England, Poland, and Germany off and on, it is really hit or miss. It is very difficult to get support because they are closed when you are awake during the day. You may not have any service for half your trip, but you will have to pay in full.
Con Not available for clients outside of US, Japan, and Taiwan
When you book in advance, they won't ship to a country other than those listed above.
Con Only 53 countries listed
Con Doesn't support PayPal payments
