The hardest I have encounter to set up. But I love it!!
I had a difficult time setting the Soracom SIM Card up using my laptop at their website. Took me a night and a morning to set it up, I live in California and had to go to Tokyo. I have a CT9 5G Walkie Talkie which very similar to the GeRRiT YATEGOOD G9 Walkie Talkie. The Soracom Sim Card work great in Japan as I was in Tokyo and Fukuoka, Japan. I was able to talk very clearly to my girl friend in San Francisco. We talked quit a bit and my bill was $2.83 USD. After 3 months my bill is at about $8.00 Soracom is coming out with a Satellite\Cell Hybrid service soon. If you have to travel around the planet this is a good IOT sim card. I get billed montly and the billing is easy to review at their website. My American Express is billed monthly.

Reliable
I got this to use for an IoT application that I’m building. I actually got this to replace a different SIM from another company that ended up not working correctly after fussing with it for awhile. This SIM worked exactly as it’s supposed to upon setup, and I had no trouble getting it set up or connecting it to the network. All I did was register the ICCID through Soracom’s website, and from there it was plug-and-play. Connectivity works great, and you get great value for your money. I haven’t had to contact customer support, but the company’s website makes reaching out to support very easy should you need to do so. Overall, fantastic SIM that works flawlessly for my needs.

Not a good option if you need a U.S. only plan
This seem comes with an international plan which you cannot remove! You can only add US-max on top of it, but can't add any of the low tier cheap US buckets. You'd end up paying more in monthly fees than you need to if you are just need the U.S. option. I could not find a US plan on amazon, but it's available directly from soracom, but add $12 shipping.All this is hard to untangle until you try to register the card and wonder what the heck is going on. Also my 4G modem did not really connect. might be a 3g only card but I'm not 100% on that.I'm going to look at other IOT providers. buyer beware

BUYER BEWARE
I bought this for my daughter's QQ smart watch and went through he** with it. First, I had to put it in my phone to register it however that could not be completed because it required a credit card. I contacted the company about not being able to register the SIM and was told debit cards are not accepted. I was so livid I started a return claim with Amazon after telling the company that was not specified prior to the purchase. Who does that? After stating my dissatisfaction, the company decided to begin accepting debit cards and allotted me a $10 credit towards my purchase. That seemed a little suspicious to me. But the biggest problem I had was after taking the SIM card out of my phone and replacing it with my own, I couldn't use the internet away from WIFI. I contacted my provider about and they determined it was something wrong with my phone so I did some investigating and found that inserting the SIM card had changed the profile on my phone. So I deleted it and was able to use the net again. I'm so returning this product.

Enabled a wifi-to-cellular gateway in rural outdoor use with sensors
This service is great for testing how to get data from my crop field sensors to the internet. No nearby wired or wifi internet connections, so I needed a cellular data connection. This SIM is in a Huawei USB cellular modem attached to a Raspberry Pi. The Pi forwards data received from sensors over wifi, over around a 300 meter radius, to the cellular modem, enabled by Soracom cell data service through AT&T. My data can go to anywhere on internet.Soracom's service connects to AT&T LTE in my area. Soracom's low-data-rate pricing by the byte lets me have a cheap entry level while I am learning and testing.While it took some fumbling to get this working (installed the SIM upside down initially), I found enough info on Soracom's website and chose a cellular modem they recommend. After a couple of hours of trial and error I had the Raspberry Pi being a wifi-to-cellular gateway and my experimental fields began to transmit real-time water status data.Just bought a second one and a second Huawei USB modem. This combination also enables my Linux or Windows laptops to connect to internet while outdoors away from wifi.

Like this service. Wish I could use it.
Wish I could use this. It's 3G only, and I need the lower latency of LTE.It's expensive compared to other options, but that seamless rollover from one carrier to the next is highly desireable.

Connectivity for IoT use cases
I am a cloud engineer and was looking for a product to works with AWS IoT use cases. This product fits in that case very well.I purchased 1 SIM card (1-pack). It is actually better to buy 5 SIM cards [5 pack] for the better discounts if you have more than few devices to connects. This SIM works pretty much everywhere, where I live, it picks up both AT&T and T-Mobile and signal was strong.The set up was easy. It required credit card to complete the activation. SORACOM have very good documentations for the developers.As for the 3G modem (Cradlepoint IBR600B) that I was testing, all I had to do was to set "APN" then the router connected. Easy.It also works on my unlocked iPhone 6 plus, I believe this is not intended use for this product as the pricing structured to be turned for Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. However, I can keep the SIM as my emergency travel SIM since this SIM works pretty much anywhere in the world and doesn't cost me much to keep it.I think this product is not for everyone, but recommended for IoT developers like me. I plan to play around with this with new Amazon IoT GreenGrass.

Perfect for what I needed
Please note this SIM is for IoT (Internet of Things), not for personal cell phone use. Seems like some of the negative reviews are from people who didn't understand this. But if you are connecting sensors and can't or don't want to use wifi, this is a great solution. And even better, their Management Platform is super clean with a lot of features to get your data to AWS (or any other cloud). And super quick delivery. I got mine the next day!
