Service is OK, but update policy is outdated.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!

I have found Bitebird a great tool especially when I am travelling within Europe and I need conductivity to the internet. I am often working in areas with no fixed access to the internet and Bitebird allows me to continue communicating with my customers.

Dear Amerigo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
The Bitebird offer is designed for travelers and frequent travelers. It is the best solution for you to stay connected wherever you are in the countries which are available (more than 130 in total). You turn your device ON and you are connected right away! This is also the advantage of your Bitebird because you will not waste time looking for a suitable connectivity solution while you just landed, instead of enjoying your trip.
The rates are different following the country but they are always at least 30% cheaper than usual roaming costs applied by providers when you are abroad. You can check all our rates (from 0,01€/MB) before you travel on our website on the following page:

Excellent service and very easy to use and to top up. I have not been able to use on my phone but brilliant to have on tablet. Only negative point is to loose the credit if you do not use it! When travelling “you”have to plan ahead and get a credit but many places nowadays have wifi so for me it is like an insurance .
Generally very pleased with the service.

Incredibly expensive
Incredibly expensive, coverage not universal, very slow to connect. We mainly used it for travelling to Europe.
A comparison .... with Bitebird the price is 0.03 Euros for 1 Mb, so 30 Euros for 1 GB. This year we used a company called simcorner where the price is 40 AUD (= 25.5 Euros) for 12 GB (valid for one month and you can tether other devices). So Bitebird is 14 times (1400%) dearer.

I was very happy with bitebird until I realised i have to be loading credit often. As you pay based on data volume it ends up being quite expensive. I'll switch to another provider with day packages.

Dear Ernesto,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
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.
You can check all our rates (from 0,01€/MB) before you travel on our website on the following page:

Dear Jack,
Thank you for your feedback. In general, streaming and videos especially do use a lot of data. If you have a daily usage during several hours, we advise you to top-up with a recharge that suits your usage:
