Service is OK, but update policy is outdated. Modern travellers only need Bitebird-like services every now and then, and shouldn't be forced to update/recharge anually without use!

Bite bird is fantastic
Bite bird is fantastic. Fast speed internet everywhere. It would be great if it can work in-flight during international travels. Also consider listing Nigeria as one of the countries for coverage.

Dear customer,

The Bitebird offer is designed for travelers and frequent travelers. The rates are different following the country but they are always much cheaper than usual ROAMING costs applied by providers when you are abroad.
In order to save more of your credit, we advise you to switch OFF your Bitebird when you do not use it, and this will avoid that updates and all applications stay always connected, using all your credit without you realizing it.

Communication efficiency
customer center officials always dedicate to respond to our queries in efficiency. One issue I would like to suggest is to receive an advance notice to the e-mail (maybe done but not reached me?) for the credit expiry notice, so that I can consider timely top-up without loosing the remained credit.

Usage much more expensive than advertised
Much more expensive than advertised.
But when it is the only way to get internet, it is what it is. Thank fully don't have to use it too much.
Just to respond to the reply: I travel twice a year to the Carribean and /or US and once a year to Europe, Africa or a new destination of my choice, currently have Asia on the list because this is the continent I have not been yet. I did read the price usage and it is not as advertised at all. The used data is displayed on the screen and the credit is used up before the full data supposed to be for the amount was reached. That's what tells me the actual price.
Instead, cheaper way to travel: buy a SIM card/prepaid when you get to where you are going. Just check before leaving where and how much it is. All phone plan providers in Canada now unlock your phone for free so you can use it wherever you are in the world with local prepaid sim cards. This is the only way to actually pay local price.
My phone company also offers data from home to use when traveling to certain countries at VERY reasonable rate. Yes, cheaper than bitebird when I have 10GB accessible!
I keep bitebird only for emergency now as it uses it seems the closest available tower/cell provider. You have tons of other options to go cheaper with internet unless saving money isn't needed. WiFi is also more and more readily available. Again as a last resort though, you can always fall back on it.

They are cheating you and not showing real data consumption
I bought a Bitebird product and 40€ credit so totally I had 50€ worth of credit in my account.
I used 1GB of data in Bali (Indonesia), and that was it - my credit line was empty. Data in Bali costs 0,02€ per MB. A simple calculation shows that 1GB is 20€ from my credit (which I bought totally worth of 50€).
After having more than ten emails exchanged between me and their support, I discovered following:
- The consumed GB number on your WiFi device is not showing real numbers (at least they told this)
- You dont have ANY in the moment possibility to check your balance neither on your device, in the APP or intranet.
- If you ask about the numbers, they send you excel sheet (welcome to the 21st century) with hundreds/thousands of rows
- They told me that they are not responsible for anything regarding providing the service.
- If I asked to have my "lost" credit back, they refused.
- They have NOT client friendly customer service. For example they tried to convince me that I had auto app update function turned on on my mobile. I am travelling 150 days in a year and I know what is roaming and how much i consume the data.
Overall - I DO NOT RECOMMEND their service to anyone, who likes to have an overview of their data consumption.

Dear customer,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is only through feedback from our valued customers that we are able to maintain and improve upon the service that we provide.
From the feedbacks we get from our customers and what we observe on data consumed, the situation you describe is usuallly explained by the fact that while you were using your Bitebird on your mobile device, applications may have been running in the background, which may have been consuming your data allowance quickly. Nonetheless, we agree that the possibility to check your balance at any moment on your account is maybe not enough to follow your usage and we are working on solutions to allow you to access your detailed usage directly in the application.
Kind regards,
The Bitebird Team

Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback. The rates per country are not the same as the telecom partners in each country are different. Telecom providers usually charge extremely high costs in roaming when you are abroad but with your Bitebird you can save from 30% to 90% on ROAMING costs in those same countries.
You can find all our rates on our website on the following page:

Expensive
It works well, but sometimes you don't have a signal. In my opinion, it is a little bit expensive when you compare the same service that I have in the USA provided by T-Mobile. I spent US$ 50,00 for 10 G of the internet.

Hello Christophe,
In order to check your credit, you just have to access your personnal account :
