feras.kaisi · June 18, 2021, 4:47am

how, when, where to preorder in the US

Beatbaron · June 18, 2021, 11:34am

Hey guys,

really looking foward to purchasing 1 of your hotspots.
As your European distribution is through DISTRELEC, who don’t ship to Germany unfortunately, will you be hacing alternative distributors for Europe, especially Germany?

Kind regards,
Beatbaron

EDIT: Nevermind, found their Germany specific website ^^

RickyGlobal9 · June 18, 2021, 6:11pm

I am from India and i strongly need 4 devices on the first order, so which frequency i should choose?
