### 1/5 — Device failed to work after a few year without any sign

*2025-01-26, version 1.9.12*

Device does not work without any sign. 2 inserted cards show no signal.

### 4/5 — Need updates good app good idea but need update glocalme firmware update

*2024-09-21, version 1.9.09*

Need updates good app good idea but need update for app and need glocalme box firmware update

### 1/5 — Big scam Don’t working with 3G & 4g SIM card

*2024-09-10, version 1.9.09*

The box very bad quality doesn’t work with 3g and 4g SIM cards and we can’t upgrade the system big scam.

### 2/5 — Really! So I have to pay every month?

*2024-04-30, version 1.9.09*

There are way cheaper options out there that are way cheaper. Vyke will get you a sim for £15 a year. You can receive calls, divert calls to Vyke for travel to overseas to avoid roaming charges. All these for £15 a year. So why should I pay a monthly subscription for mobile sim you can’t really use as a main line. Nothing can replace your main line. 
I will advise you guys rethink your options.

### 1/5 — Scam, just avoid!!!

*2024-02-06, version 1.9.09*

Paid for homeSimBox ~200$ and after to use you need to pay monthly subscription!!! 
Waste of money!!! Simore.ch are very good alternative

### 1/5 — Irresponsible

*2023-10-20, version 1.9.09*

Nothing works after updating to the new revision. Service center didn’t do anything and are not helpful at all.

### 5/5 — The best for expats

*2023-10-07, version 1.9.09*

The device is expensive but remember that is like having perpetual license for unlimited text send/receive so don't wait just get it and you will save yourself a lot of hassle.

### 1/5 — No FREE PLAN

*2023-06-08, version 1.9.07*

The app is great, it works perfectly as the sim box. But it’s impossible to pay for a minimum of calls. I think that you, as GlocalMe, should restore a free plan for a maximum of a few calls per months, because in your website is not written about this. Please, it can be used more with a free limited plan per month. Make a small update. Thanks

### 1/5 — 改成收費後品質更糟

*2023-02-17, version 1.9.07*

不但收費超貴，訊號還更糟，常收不到訊息跟來電

### 1/5 — Scammy product

*2022-10-10, version 1.9.07*

I spent over 800HKD to purchase the simbox, in order to get what the physical box could offer, and after 1/7 they charge me a subscription for this, totally scam, I will look for alternative and give up all my voice call 

Wouldn’t use simbox at the first place if they hv an subscription fee, there are loads of simpler options out there!
