Interesting. I remember hearing about this service. I don’t like that speed or should I say lack of speed. And I wonder if the app is accessible. Hope so. We’re going to stick with our T-Mobile where we get two lines of unlimited data and much faster speeds were $70 a month. But this could be good if you’re going traveling where are your main carrier doesn’t have very good coverage and you need to do something about that.
