When looking for a good mobile unlimited hotspot wifi plan, it is important to get the right plan. I think I have found the best plan out there. Recently, when I was browsing the internet looking for a new hotspot mobile wifi plan, I came across this company called GeeFi. I thought their data plan sounded too good to be true. Unlimited data? For one low cost? Surely this was too good to be true. But I took the plunge anyway, since their plan was the best I could find on the internet. I was not disappointed.
GeeFi, as stated before, offers an unlimited wifi hotspot all over the world. Out of all the companies I’ve ever tried, GeeFi has the best global coverage I have ever seen. I have a friend in Russia who I went to visit, so I took my hotspot with me, and it worked! I can’t think of any other hotspot wifi company that offers as great of coverage as GeeFi does.
GeeFi started as a Kickstarter project. It was met by tremendous support because lots of people wanted a product that could be used virtually everywhere. I have told my friends about the product, and they all seemed eager to buy it. One of my friends, actually bought the product and he said he loves it! Tom is a member of the Travelling Surgical Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so he used the product as he was traveling for his job. He said the coverage is great in Ireland and he will never switch to any other company for hotspot wifi.
Here’s how it works: you purchase the GeeFi hotspot for $199, and then only pay $9 per day of use, for unlimited wifi. This is an incredible value, as it is cheaper than many international wifi providers that charge for the rental of devices and shipping/return fees. If you travel more than just a few times, you’ll already have paid for this device — and you’ll own it, too.
I would recommend this product to anybody who travels a lot, or just wants a reliable company to get their wifi from. Most people will be skeptical of this product, because there has never been anything like it before. They are truly the pioneers in this line of work. Never has another company had such a great idea like this. I truly believe that companies such as Verizon and AT&T will follow GeeFi and get better global coverage. GeeFi offers LTE coverage worldwide.
GeeFi sells their hotspot for just $199.99. You can then get 24 hour unlimited access for $9.99 a day. Another thing I love about GeeFi is that it has a 48 hour battery life and it also doubles as a power bank for any USB device. I used it to charge my cell phone while on the go.
In summary, I would recommend this product to anybody who is tired of bad coverage and slow speeds by their current provider. GeeFi is obviously superior to Verizon and AT&T in every way possible, and it’s the reason I wrote this GeeFi review. All of my friends that I have recommended this product to love their new hotspot wifi coverage and recommend it to some of their friends. So whether you want to talk to your loved ones overseas, or just want better coverage in your neighborhood, GeeFi is definitely for you.

James,
have you actually used the Geefi product or are you simply reposting (or cut and paste) the promotional material produced by the creators of Geefi?
If you cared to peruse the Kickstarter webpage for this product you will find thousands (around 1,700) negative comments about this product. Comments range from product not working as advertised or not working at all.
It may do you some credit if you edit your comments after reading all the Kickstarter backer review.

This guy has never even tried one of these as his review of a complete work of fiction. I bought one of these off the website, not only did it not work for over a year (the website neglects to let you know this is startup that has not even delivered a complete product yet) but if you look on kickstarter, there are a LOT of angry backers, many of which have yet to receive one of these, even though the company is trying to sell them online.
It gives you 500Mb of data are average speeds (when it works) and then it is so slow, you may as well not bother. This article says it has the best coverage, but its claim is over 100 countries, but it has about 50 listed on its webpage, yes Geefi, I can count!
As a ‘feature’, turning it on costs you $10, yes, that’s right, just pushing the power button charges you for a full day, no second step, so lets hope it doesn’t bump anything in your bag!
I ordered a pouch when I bought the device, after about a year and dozens of e-mails, the summary is that they just don’t care, no pouch, no refund, not interest from them.
I live in hope that the $200 I spent on this will turn out to be worth it, but I am almost out of patience.
I am about to go on a holiday and I am taking a Skyroam Solis, at least they answer my e-mails, which is more than I can say for Geefi, oh yes, and the Skyroam is cheaper per day also!
Just for clarity, I have nothing to do with Skyroam, but I wish I had never heard of Geefi, I would have been $200 richer.
As a positive, it does function as a great paperweight!
You have never ordered nor used this or you would have known that this is a scam. IF it works, you’ll know it doesn’t have unlimited Wi-Fi coverage. And good luck ordering it and good luck trying to get in touch with customer service.
