Anyone tried this service in Australia? Going to Perth next month but not sure if Vodafone is a good network there.

Btw please take note of your own billing cycle, if need to, just request for a change in billing cycle over the phone before activating the service.

Hi all,

Just to share my experience over the past few days with M1 datapassport here in USA.

I had activated M1 datapassport (USA) together with network lock before coming to Dallas, Texas.

Ever since landed in Los Angeles airport and after transiting to Dallas, I have switched on my phone and got connected to T-Mobile with 4G successfully.

HOWEVER, I HAVE NOTICED THE BROWSING/FB/EMAIL TAKES LIKE FOREVER. So I decided to monitor for next couple of days to see if it was temporary but 3 days later I still found the performance the same.

I tethered to my iPhone from my macbook and did a traceroute to www.google.com and showed as follows:

SpeedTest.net results showed 498ms (Latency), 0.94Mbps (Down), 0.56Mbps (Up)

My public IP address showed 119.56.115.121 which according to https://www.iplocation.net/ the address is registered under MobileOne Singapore.

So all my traffic were FIRST go to Singapore then RETURN back to USA..

Conclusion: I am guessing M1 have setup a tunnel gateway in USA by partnering with T-Mobile to allow M1 customers with datapassport subscription to point to that gateway when registered under T-Mobile network instead of using T-Mobile LTE network locally hence all my traffic were going to Singapore first then come back to USA which explained why the latency was so bloody high and the up/downlink speed is no where near average 4G LTE speed.

Just to share with everybody that I am very very very disappointed with M1 Datapassport......

Geographically speaking HK is very near to SG so it may not be as bad as what I have showed here in USA.

The typical latency from SG to HK is around 35ms so it may worth giving it a try! :)

I used the M1 Data Passport in Germany and Austria last Dec. My connection through T-Mobile was good and stable. I could even setup a hotspot for 2 other devices.

used it in Bali near Kuta area. It is terrible, connection is very slow and often can't get through. Waste of money.
