"We travelled through Holland, Belgium, France, and Italy. The battery life was excellent and often lasted longer than our phones. We used two cell phones from home and just left wifi on during our trip. We did carry extra battery chargers (usb connectors) for both the wifi and phones because available power is scarce when out and about. Have already recommended to friends travelling in a month and will definitely use again. "

"Cello is simply heaven - highly recommend MiFi unit and service for travelling within Europe. Avoided use of my "Mobil" direct calling phone line. Enabled communications via "on line" voice and data alternatives using the Cello provided MiFi (Pocket WIFI) unit only. This method avoids extra data service charges and I did not incur phone call roaming charges. Great Service, unit arrived to my office as promised in time for departure, and return UPS slip provided with unit for convenient return to supplier upon completion of trip abroad. Smooth seamless log-on ease per clear instructions. No problems, no worries, no hassle, and great communications afforded while away. Don't leave home without one!"

"I have been renting a smart phone from Cello Mobile in the last 2 years for my Europe vacation and I'm so happy. Thank you guys. "

"We were extremely pleased with the way our mobile hot spot worked. Never had any problems connecting while we were in Iceland. I especially like that the device was shipped to me in the US prior to our departure. I've used other companies before and was always fearful that the unit would be at my hotel. Cello eliminated any fears as I had it in hand two prior to departure. My next trip is to Italy next month and I will definitely use Cello again."

"I reseached many different wifi hotspot services before heading to Ireland this summer.
Although Cello's website wasn't as fancy as the others. The Value Cello provides is much higher.
most wifi hotspot sites would say unlimited but throttle you down after 300mb.
well Cello i got to use a full 1gb a day, which was incredilble plenty for two people traveling and using wifi calling with our Iphones, navigation, youtube travel videos and all those other things that eat up data."

"Worked very well Easy to set up and easy to use. Some spotty coverage in Iceland and Scotland but it was the cell network. I could not use my AT&T at the same time. Worked for many devices and having the iPad on the road was a huge adjunct to GPS. In fact could almost have forgone GPS. I will use again next time and not use any cell data
I could carry the device in a pocket when we are walking around or on a tour bus. Battery life was excellent and came with a backup (Micro USB)
"

"Upon arriving in Poland I was very hesitant as to whether the hotspot would truly work there or not. I'd previously bought SIM cards from some place else so that I would have wifi while abroad but it seems to have failed me. In contrary, using the Mifi hotspot was a SUCCESS! The hotspot never failed to give me wifi no matter where I was in Poland, whether it was in the city or rural area. The internet speed was fairly fast and I was able to stay connected with family and friends back home. I highly recommend renting their Mifi hotspot to anyone who is traveling abroad. Yes, it may be a bit pricy but it was definitely my money! "

"This is the 2nd time I have rented a Cello Mobile phone while traveling abroad and once again I had an excellent experience. Within moments of turning on the phone abroad (we traveled throughout India), I was up and running with voice calls, texts, email and full internet access. I used it extensively as a hot spot to provide internet to a few other devices and it worked great. In some very remote locations I struggled to get internet (and on rare occasions voice calls) but that only lasted a few minutes and pretty much resolved when I manually selected a carrier (instead of letting it automatically choose one). What I love most about Cello Mobile is that it removes the stress from my trip, and allows me to relax and enjoy. I need to be reachable and share work product via the internet on demand. I have traveled in the past without a Cello Mobile, but had to rely on SIM cards, wi-fi access, etc. It was a nightmare, diminished my enjoyment of the trip as I was constantly preoccupied with not being able to get my work done, and I wasted tons of time at phone shops, wi-fi cafes, etc. With Cello Mobile phone I never need to worry if I will be able to make calls or access the internet, because after 2 separate month-long trips (1 to Italy, the other to India) it has proven to be extremely reliable, and the speeds and quality of service / clarity have been excellent. In addition, being able to map directions, access restaurant recommendations, call hotels, make bookings online, etc. greatly improved the quality of our trip as we were better able to manage and research the trip real-time, and did not have to rely on word-of-mouth. Being able to call anyone anywhere anytime without worrying about extra charges is a huge plus, and the unlimited (within reason) calls + internet access means you do not have to track call minutes or data usage. I realize some fret about the cost, but my feeling is that it is a no-brainer and is absolutely worth it, in fact I view it as a bargain. The great cell / internet service, coupled with the elimination of stress cannot be quantified, and you do not have to gamble on finding a solution once you arrive in-country (and then constantly have to recharge/reload, change SIMs in different areas, etc.). I highly recommend a Cello Mobile phone for your next international trip, and I would not ever travel abroad without one!"

"I rented their wi-fi egg for a week to take to Peru, and we had four devices connected to the wi-fi egg the entire time. The wi-fi was never spotty, and worked perfectly everywhere we went. Even at the top of Macchu Picchu, we were able to load videos using our wifi egg.

Would definitely not hesitate to rent a wi-fi egg from them again!"

"I got a cello mobile wifi hotspot for use in Canada. To be honest, I didn't really think it would work properly. I thought the data would be slow, or that I would get cut off after a while for using too much etc.
In fact, it worked perfectly. Data speeds were good, good enough for video, though I didn't do too much. I would use 2 phones & a laptop on it at once. Typically I used 500Mb to 1Gb per day.

At one stage a friend visited and connected his laptop & tried to sync with his work filesystem - this used too much data (like a few Gb in a day) and I thought I would be cut off. Instead I got an email from Cello, I replied saying I'd watch my usage in future and all was fine.
Interestingly the device ran off a UK SIM card - this meant it could roam across different cellular providers in Canada. "

"I had low expectations for a functional cell in Cuba, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Not only did my phone arrive a day before Cello said it would, the reception, consistency and clarity on my little flip phone was far better than that my friend had with his iPhone on a US/Cuba Verizon plan. I would (and have done so) highly recommend Cello mobile to anyone traveling to a place where their existing cell plan won't work."

"This was the first time I'd ordered and taken a phone to Europe. After looking online and reading reviews (like this one), I went with Cello Mobile and I'm not sorry. From the beginning, they handled my order professionally. Within a day, they confirmed my order by email. Then, about a month before I left, they emailed the UK number and my NY number. I suggest you buy the NY number so friends in the States can text you easily.
While still at home, I was able to add a couple apps that I needed, which was nice.
When we arrived in the countries I had selected, the phone worked flawlessly, with great reception. I was sent a Samsung Galaxy 4 LTE. Since I own a Galaxy 4, I was very familiar with it. There was only one occasion where we didn't have any reception, but that was the location and not the phone.
When I arrived home, I put the phone in a box, put on the pre-purchased address labe and mailed it. My $100 deposit was returned within two days of their receiving the phone.
I highly recommend Cello Mobile for your rental if going to Europe."

"I was great having my Cell O Mobile hotspot on my recent European trip. Having internet on trains as well as in hotels where the local internet was shooddy was a great benefit. On previous trips I had no hotspot with me and so often the hotel internet had let me down. This is why I shopped around and found Cell O Mobile had the best offer. They delivered the product to my home way in advance of my trip. I purchased the return ;label for $10.00, a big plus, since it made it easy to return it after completing the trip. My $100.00 deposit was returned to me immediately after I returned the hotspot. ADVICE TO USERS: Make sure you follow Cell O mobile's instructions to wait 5 minutes after turning on the hotspot before you turn on your laptop. The hotspot needs time to roam for a signal. Once it latches on to a carrier you are good to go. If you are staying put as in a hotel, let it go to sleep mode and when you turn it back on the internet will be there. However, if you are "on the go" (ie; train, car, etc. every so often the hotspot will need to find another signal Be patient when this happens. The hotspot will find service in short time. Cello O Mobile is a reputable company whose product lives up to their description. I will ALWAYS travel to Europe with one of their hotspots. KUDOS!!!!!

"The Cello Mobile has been a very useful service for us. Travelling to Europe the phone allows us to keep in touch with family back home in Canada and also for communicating with persons we booked accommodations with etc. We also use it for travelling to the US as well, very handy for sure."

"Visit Italy and got the International SIM Card. I received great service and I was able to keep in touch with my family while using my own phone"
