Is hippocketwifi legit? Hopefully they work well in France, Italy, and Greece. Do you recommend any other companies for better price and service?

hmmmm I had no problem with internet connections/wife while in Europe....


Although AT&T did charge me an arm and a leg because using my phone for GPS went over the data plan I bought. However, in the city things were fine.

I did switch to Google Fi and it has been fantastic, no need for a separate plan

I didn't click through the options for various locations. I see it "starts" at €5 a day. AT&T has a plan where you use your phone exactly like you do at home for $10/day. I did that in Italy and the Bahamas last year. Worked excellently.

I always buy a local sim card which costs about $5-$10. The sim cards usually have about 1 gig of data included which will last me 3 or 4 days. You also get a local ph# with calls and texting but I rarely use that.....although I do input the ph# into my uber app so drivers can call me.

I’ve used TravelWiFi in the past and it was very convenient because both my wife and I could use it on our phones. Cheaper than the 10 per day for each phone.

I got a pocket hot spot (TWSS) when we toured around Ireland. It was easy to use and I would use it for google maps instead of a rental GPS. Plus the wife could look up things and read her phone while I was driving with no issues. We also carried it around with us when we weren't in our apartments for the wifi. Pretty damn useful.
