hey, I'm wondering if anyone has an experience using the solis wifi hotspot. I am thinking of picking one up along with one of their data plans so I can have wifi when camping. Ideally I want something I can use to stream. We do alot of camping in Canada and usually do a two or three trip to the US so having something that works in both spots is very appealing. I'm just curious if anyone has any positive or negative experiences with how it works or some other recommendations. Thanks!

What cellular service? Is that specific to Alberta? If not ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, they are buying service from one of the big 3 typically. Why not just get one from your cellular service provider and bundle the plans?

Bell seems to be offering 100GB plan for about $100 per month. It's the only one I know that works on both sides of the border. Well, my friend has a phone with unknown data caps that works here and there but it's a small outfit and is very expensive.

We have phones and data for here (I'm in Florida at the moment) and phones and data for home.

The only one that works on both sides of the border is sat. TV but the bird that covers USA is failing fast - might or might not last this season. Some say they can get some Canadian TV using VPNs but that's iffy.

solis claims to work in over 135 countries and doesn't use a sim card so it isn't limited by being linked to any specific cell service provider, it appears it can use just about any provider in the world so the likelihood of picking up a signal is greater

Read this before buying. It sounds like a finicky device to get working. It's a really old article, so surely things are better now, at least one would hope.
