It sounds to me as though all the negative reviewers have a personal axe to grind. When we had a 6.5 earthquake here there was no power with which to recharge cellphones. And no idea when we would have power, or any way to find out. We were using both our personal cellphones to contact family, check on neighbors (we live in the country), get news and veterinary advice, and respond to media inquiries. There was no way for us to get to the community hospital for almost an entire day (fortunately we didn't need to, but a neighbor was injured in the face by falling brick and we had to administer first aid). We were also using our camera to document damage.
You technogeeks can keep your big battery packs and hotel power outlets. I am ordering some Medis packs and refills as soon as I can. Whatever you may think of the company or product, I am grateful that finally someone has made a product like this available. And I am buying some as gifts for my sailing friends as well.
"I'm looking to grab a new phone using a prepaid service. What's the best prepaid phone service in terms of overall price, phone selection and other bells / whistles. Thanks!"
