SIMO Solis Hero, 4G Mobile Hotspot, 1GB/Monthly + 30GB Global Data

I purchased the SIMO Solis Pro 5G hotspot primarily for travel, working remotely and as a backup internet solution. It has exceeded my expectations. Setup was incredibly simple right out of the box. I powered it on, followed the prompts within the app, and was connected within minutes. The touchscreen display makes it easy to monitor battery life, signal strength, data usage, and connected devices without having to dig through menus. The connection has been consistently reliable and it does seem to connect to the strongest carrier available. It often seems to default to T-Mobile, but I've been happy with the connection speeds so far. I also appreciate not having to deal with SIM cards or carrier contracts. Battery life has been excellent. It easily lasts through a full workday, and the fact that it can double as a power bank for my devices is a welcome additional that I know will come handy. The device itself feels well-built and durable, and I like having the peace of mind that I can take it almost anywhere and stay connected. While it's not the cheapest hotspot on the market, the convenience, flexibility, and reliability make it worth the investment for me. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who travels frequently, works remotely, or wants a dependable backup internet connection.

This hotspot works great and is very easy to set up. My husband and I took our camper to Arizona when it was over 100. We also brought our parrot. We bought the solis so we could monitor the temperature in the camper (using a tempstick connected to the hotspot). It definitely worked and we were able to respond quickly one day when the temp started spiking. Even when the cell service was not strong, it fount a signal and held it. Just make sure to remember to charge it every day or two. There doesn't seem to be any battery alert. Also, it's pretty easy to go through the data, so use wisely.

PLEASE SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND BUY A PORTABLE WIFI SYSTEM FROM AN ACTUAL REPUTABLE COMPANY, BECAUSE SOLIS/SOMO ISN'T IT! EXACTLY ONE WEEK AGO I SPENT ALMOST $90 FOR A ONE MONTH UNLIMITED INTERNET PLAN FOR MY SOLIS WIFI DEVICE! A WEEK LATER I CAN'T EVEN WATCH MY TV BECAUSE SOLIS'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE" IS CURRENTLY TELLING ME (I HAVE THEM IN A *WORTHLESS* TECH SUPPORT CHAT AS I TYPE THIS): "YOU'VE ALREADY USED YOUR 100 GB OF HIGH SPEED INTERNET FOR YOUR UNLIMITED ONE MONTH PLAN. AFTER THE 100 GB IS USED YOUR SPEED SLOWS DOWN." I TOLD HIM "IF YOU BUY AN UNLIMITED ONE MONTH PLAN AND AFTER ONLY ONE WEEK YOU CAN'T EVEN WATCH YOUR TV, THAT MEANS SOLIS IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS!" HIS RESPONSE WAS (HIS NAME IS MICHAEL): "It is not useless; you still have data, only slower. This information is not hidden from you. At any moment, you can see on the website that it states the data is unlimited, but it slows down afterwards." I RESPONDED "There's literally nothing working in my home. The only tv I have connected keeps going out every 5-10 seconds, so YES it is USELESS when I can't even watch TV with it. I'll just go back to my regular home internet and throw this absolute junk out. it's far cheaper than $90 a month and I've never had any kind of issue like this with ANY internet company before! I can understand a slower speed (which for $90 bucks it's STILL ridiculous that they slow the internet speed down, especially to the extent that NOTHING that uses wifi will even WORK at their "slower speed)"! I also told him that I purchased this JUNK from Amazon and that I WILL be heading to their review section to warn people to STAY FAR AWAY from their scam, which is what I believe it to be!!!! I still have THREE WHOLE WEEKS left of my ONE MONTH "UNLIMITED" PLAN, and as of about 30 mins ago, my ONE MONTH UNLIMITED PLAN is obviously over after only one week...again, for almost $90 bucks!!! If nothing in my home will stay connected to this pile of straight GARBAGE the only thing I have left to say about Solis/SOMO is that it's a SCAM!!!! Once I told "Michael" I was leaving a review on Amazon, he immediately ended the conversation and disconnected the chat! So not only is Solis a SCAM, their customer service is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! My cellphones are through T Mobile and they too slow down unlimited cellphone internet after so much of the high speed internet is used, but guess what? When this happens, I don't even notice it's been slowed down because the internet on my family's phones have ZERO problems staying connected, and there's absolutely ZERO problem watching videos/movies etc., on our cellphones, even when they've slowed down the speed. Oh and on one last horrid note: Solis/Somo wants me to pay ANOTHER $40-$70 to get the high speed data back for the three weeks of my "One Month Internet Plan" that I have left on top of the almost $90 I've ALREADY PAID A WEEK AGO, WHICH I'M ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT DOING!!! They got me once, but it definitely isn't happening TWICE! Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have no idea but I DEFINITELY wish I would have picked a different company because this one is HORRIBLE!

This is a great device; my husband and I were able to connect our phones and tablets while vacationing in the Caribbean. We connected to the internet while in in the airport terminal and was able to use our phones throughout our stay. The local signal strength was excellent and the device lasted all day without running out of battery

For as much as I have used it so far, which is not extensive but is illustrative, I like this hotspot quite a bit. I unpacked it (the unit itself is about the size of a hockey puck), followed the included instructions, and here is my experience. The first instruction said to charge up the hotspot. A type-C charging cable was included, but not a converter to plug it into the wall. I used the same type-C charger that I use for my phone. The light on the top of the hotspot lit up and started to rock back and forth as it was supposed to do. It took about 30 minutes to reach full charge. The next instruction said that once it was charged up I should turn it on and allow it to find a network connection. It powered right up, started to blink, and it took approximately 7 minutes for it to find and connect to a source. Next, I was supposed to scan the QR code on the back of the unit to activate it. I did that with no problem. The QR code took me directly to the SIMO website. I was shown a login screen where I was able to quickly create my account. It took almost no time at all and I was told that the hotspot was ready to use. It comes with some free data, and of course the page was full of paid options for additional data. I didn't take advantage of any of them yet, because I want to fully test this out over a longer period of time before I commit to any sort of contract. I left the website, turned off my home Wi-Fi, and opened my laptop. My Solis Hero was showing up as one of the options for connectivity. I clicked on it and, of course, I had to enter a password. The password is printed on a sticker on the back of the unit. My eyes are not too bad, but I had to use a pair of reading glasses AND a magnifying glass to read it. (I saved it in my phone for any future time that I might need it because I don't want to go through that again.) Anyway, my laptop connected to it with no problem. I checked my email. I looked at my Amazon account to track a package. And everything worked just as it should albeit slightly slower than I am used to. I logged into my bank account and everything just took a little longer than it normally takes. It's a delay that I can live with, but it is noticeable. I powered down my Hero, and put it back into its carrying case. For ease of use, and the quick and easy setup, it's one of the smoothest electronic installations I've ever done. The length of time that it took to connect to a network, and the slow nature of the connection speed, were an unpleasant surprise, but at least the connection was steady and I was able to accomplish everything that I wanted to accomplish using that hotspot. All in all, I am satisfied with it and will use it as a backup Wi-Fi source when I don't have my regular one. It is good enough for that, but I don't think I would use it as my one and only source of Internet. For what it is, though, and the price that I paid, I am very satisfied

I've had this for over a year and I love it! It works everywhere I go. The cost is minimal and I feel like it is safer than connecting to many different systems as I travel Europe, Middle East and USA. Always reliable; takes aboit 30-45 seconds to connect anywhere. Easy initial setup and able to monitor use on the app easily.

I have to say that I am very impressed with this product. I am a business owner on the go, not only do I have clients in my office. I also have them remotely. I typically use my Wi-Fi that is along with my landline in my office for video meetings. however, when I have gone, offsite should do events. I’ve had a very difficult time connecting my Square reader or phone to the Wi-Fi in different places that do not allow access to their system without a password. It resulted to me losing a lot of money out events were people wanted to purchase tickets if they were any available and did not have cash to give to me. so I bought this to go along with my Square Terminal to take cards easily at events when people come in. it was the best thing I ever did to invest in both of the products. by the way, if you’re ever considering buying the Square Terminal do it through Amazon it’s less expensive than Square (learned that later). so far, I’ve used this portable Wifi for my events with my Square reader very successfully. I have also used it when I was on the road to test the Wi-Fi system and take a card as a test you can see in the video. Lastly, one time I did something with my cell phone did not realize that I had turned off my cell phone data and tried to get directions to a new location. I had to scope out , pick it up on my GPS and I was trying to find the address I turned around and went back to my office to get this Wi-Fi and turned it on. I was able to get to the event location easily by picking up the Wi-Fi and connecting it to my phone. but the most impressive yet was I just recently went on my first cruise ever to Bermuda, I was very concerned about being able to access my emails and check in on things while I was gone to tell my staff member if there were any issues with things she needed to address. I brought this on my trip and also upgraded from my eight dollar plan I pay every month just to have it going anytime. I need it to a $98 unlimited plan to access Wi-Fi in Bermuda to be able to contact not only my staff but our adult children that were watching our dog and to check in. In addition, I had also bought the Norweigan limited minutes data plan for $125 for 200 minutes that Wifi bought from the cruise ship never worked even when we were in Port and at sea thar never worked!!! I could check my email through the cruise ship Wi-Fi, but could never send it out or check text messages so that was a waste of money. However, I was able to quickly in swiftly turn on this Wi-Fi system when we were in Bermuda and be able to check messages and text our children which was awesome. I had paid $98 for an unlimited plan in Caribbean and Bermuda and I also also had a conference that I just got back from that. I wanted to have it to take payments for books that I was selling and other products. I can say that I did use my laptop a couple times to check it and also my Apple pad and it lagged a little bit connecting to solos, but it did send and receive messages. I’m not sure how it would be full-time using this a Wi-Fi system through a landline with say Comcast, etc., but this is definitely good for any Wifi spot, especially if you are taking and receiving payments at events or conferences, I am very happy with the purchase. It was the best birthday present I ever bought and it’s already paid for itself many times over with me being able to sell products and tickets at Event locations easily. i’ve recommended this product to other business owners and friends. Many other portable Wi-Fi systems are extremely expensive to maintain. I am pretty frugal with my business being careful not to overspend on different areas. I don’t use this all the time so I pay for the eight dollar a month plan just to always have access to it if I’m not I’m gonna be somewhere else for a day or a long period of time then I pay for a longer for just a day to use it or a month. Gave me a lot of comfort, knowing that I had this when I was out of the country in Bermuda to take along with me in my big pocketbook to be able to access the Whatsup app and be able to call people if we needed a ride. My husband also connected his phone to the system as well as I did at the same time to be able to check his text messages and emails that came through once we turned it on. If you were a vendor get the system it is so much easier than worrying about getting Wi-Fi access anywhere you are. this is also very secure instead of going into free Wi-Fi access especially if you are doing any transactions and you don’t want a way to hack into your business accounts. Highly recommend a product love it. I’ve been in business for 18 years and this is one of the best products that I ever purchased to help run my business.

This is a great product. Very economical and works well. As long as you have cell service you can use it. I bought this as a backup for our Starlink but we generally use it first and the Starlink is now backup. It always works even in the rain. The plans offered are super reasonable. This is one of the better buys I have made for my RV. I would definitely buy it again.

I originally purchased this device as my home broadband had failed and I needed to stay online to work from home. It's a fabulous product, finding networks easily and the connection is stable. Even better is that you receive 1GB of data free per month, so if you are just needing something to keep you online and not downloading large files then you will not need to pay anything. I travel all over the world for business, and this has kept me online at pretty much every location. The app is simple to use and the various data packages are reasonable for what they are. I would recommend this for people who travel. I am now waiting for the 5G Solis Edge to find it's way to Amazon!

Ich hatte vorher ein GlocalMe, aber deren Tarife sind so teuer geworden, dass es sich einfach nicht mehr rechnete. Generell sind solche Geräte ja eher etwas aus der Zeit gefallen in Zeiten von eSim, aber das mag jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Ich verwende es in erster Linie auf Reisen, habe dadurch auch immer noch eine Powerbank für den Notfall dabei, aber nutze es auch in Deutschland gerne mal, um mein reines Wifi Tablett ins Netz zu bringen oder das Laptop, ohne dabei den Akku des Smartphones mit Ticket und Wegbeschreibung leerzusaugen, weil z.B. die DB viel weniger Steckdosen in ihren Zügen hat, als Menschen mit Kabeln ;) Das Solis Go ist solide und vor allem kompakt gebaut und man hat eindeutig mitgedacht, so gibt ins Gerät verbaute Anschlusskabel für Lightning, USB-C und USB-A, die man weder vergessen noch verlegen kann. Ich mag sowas. Der Formfaktor lässt sich gut verstauen, notfalls sogar in der Hosentasche. Die Erstnutzung im Ausland war ein bißchen hakelig, aber daran war ich wohl auch nicht ganz unschuldig. Ansonsten funktioniert das Gerät hervorragend - anschalten, einloggen (machen die Devices sowieso automatisch, wenn man sich schon mal im Wifi angemeldet hat) und loslegen. Gerade auf Reisen superpraktisch und von mir viel genutzt. Die Verbindungen waren in einem halben dutzend Ländern schnell und stabil, für eine Fehlnutzung gibt es viel zu wenig Buttons am Gerät und das kann man sogar praktisch blind bedienen. Die dazugehörige App ist schlicht und praktisch aufgebaut, alle notwenigen Infos sind direkt ersichtlich, man kommt aber tatsächlich ggbfs. auch ohne aus. Ich habe also echt nix zu meckern. Einen Abzug in der B-Note gibt es allerdings für die Kommunikation des 1GB Freivolumen 'lebenslang' - das ist zwar absolut super für Notfälle, aber Simo schraubt daran - wenn man sich die Foren und Reddit anschaut - regelmäßig unangekündigt rum und sagt es nicht. Mal ist 1GB = 4 x 250 MB im Wochentakt, dann ist es unkalkulierbarer 'Fair Use', dann werden willkürlich 2BM pro Stunde abgezogen obwohl keine Daten fließen, bei andere gilt es nur für Neukunden ... mir ist das alles bisher noch nicht passiert (oder zumindest aufgefallen) aber die Häufung dieser Berichte wirft Fragen auf.

A friend recommended the Solis Hotspot to me, he said it was great for travelling overseas. Wow was he right! You arrive somewhere (Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, Canada, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Bahamas, so far) turn it on and within a minute it has connected to a local cell service and the internet is available through the hotspot. I bought the 4G rather than the 5G but even so I've had 2 phones, a laptop and an iPad connected at the same time and the performance was still good. This is for the second Solis I bought. I liked the first so much I bought a second. I have the renewal dates 12 days apart, so I can get 2GB spread pretty evenly through the month.

Enrutador fácil de configurar y usar. Hice pruebas en varios lugares de Lisboa (Portugal) siempre con excelente cobertura y buenas velocidades. Actualmente utilizo el equipo para acceso remoto a un medidor eléctrico privado y a un cargador de vehículo eléctrico (aplicación IoT). Esta solución muy sencilla permite conocer el consumo y estado del cargador de EV en tiempo real. Para la aplicación mencionada anteriormente no necesito de un plan de datos específico, ya que la oferta de 1G mensual incluida durante la vida útil del equipo es perfectamente suficiente.

Ich habe den Solis Lite, Mobile Hotspot, gekauft, um weltweit ins Internet zu kommen. Jetzt war ich 3 Wochen auf Kreuzfahrt und habe folgende Länder besucht: Vereinigre Arabische Emirate, Oman, Indien, Sri Lanka, Malaysia und Singapur. In allen Ländern hatte ich mit Solis Lite problemlos Internet und hatte keinerlei Probleme. Wer viele Länder bereist und nicht überall umständlich per eSim ins Internet will, ist mit Solis Lite auf der richtigen Seite. Zudem gleichzeitig 10 Geräte gleichzeitig über den Solis ins Internet können. Einfach ideal für Leute, die problemlos und leicht jederzeit ins Internet wollen.
