Thanks for your feedback. I know there are many travellers out there enjoying Mifis. For others it's just a niche market. I'm personally still not in love with them even if I carry different mobile devices with me while travelling, because it will be another one to combine them all that need to be recharged, cared for etc...

I think the tethering / mobile hotspot functionality of mobile phones have made them redundant for some. There are essentially only two Chinese manufacturers (Huawei and ZTE) sharing the market. And you addressed the two major drawbacks in my point of view: battery life is still not so great (at least less than mobile phones) and compatibility is limited. As far as I know there is no device on any market carrying both US and European/Asian LTE frequencies (at least the primary ones). But there are iPhones or high-end Android phones at least that cover both worlds.

As the admin here, I'm interested in more experience of traveller with these devices. Please add your opinion and how to deal with them here.
