Performance

Why a portable Sonim H500 Hotspot vs. a built-in smartphone hotspot?

Stay Connected Longer

Phone batteries drain quickly when using a hotspot, reducing battery life by up to 65%.

Reliable Connection

Phone hotspots frequently disconnect due to battery saver and low data mode features.

Ease of Use 

Unlike phones, the Sonim H500 powers up and connects instantly, with no need for network or battery adjustments.

More Are Welcome 

Phone hotspots connect up to 10 devices, while dedicated hotspots like the Sonim H500 support up to 34 devices for better performance.

Consistent Data Usage

Phone carriers often throttle hotspot data after a set limit, while many providers offer separate data plans for dedicated hotspots.

Use Your Voice 

Some carriers disable voice calls when using a phone hotspot—limiting productivity.
