Great hotspot & STC coverage in Bahrain
downloaded the profile over home wifi before leaving, instructions were super clear. Speeds on STC were fast enough for facetime and video calls from Bahrain with zero lag. the 5% cashback in the wallet was a nice little bonus for our next trip too
★★★★☆
Practico al llegar a GCC International Flight Concourse, mucho mas barato que el roaming
Se activa al instante despues del pago sin bajar ninguna app. Nada mas aterrizar en GCC International Flight Concourse se conecto solo a STC con 5G y usamos google maps por Bahrain y Kuwait. En carretera fuera de Kuwait paso a 4G LTE unos minutos, por lo demas muy bien.
