Internet anywhere in the world without a subscription?

Advertorial


This telecommunications engineer explains how to get internet anywhere in the world without a subscription

Laurent Loison - Rédacteur chez Techno Mag depuis 2018, publié le 13/07/2025

Paying a monthly fee for internet? That nightmare is finally coming to an end.

Thanks to a German engineer, thousands of people are now enjoying fast, secure, and contract-free internet access anywhere in the world.

A revolutionary little device called SmartWifi now makes it possible to get internet without a SIM card, without a subscription, in over 150 countries. And all for a fraction of the cost of a traditional data plan.

Who is Alexander Meyer, the telecommunications engineer who ended subscriptions?

“I’ve been working in telecom for over 15 years,” Alexander begins.

“I’ve worked with several major carriers. I’ve seen from the inside how they profit massively from subscriptions, especially with roaming. That’s when I decided to create an alternative.”


And that’s how SmartWifi was born?

“Yes. I started thinking about a way to connect to the internet without being tied to a single carrier or a SIM card. Today, we have the technology to automatically connect into local networks, without subscription.”

“SmartWifi is the result of several years of R&D. It fits in your pocket, works in over 150 countries, and automatically connects to the best available signal.”

So, how does it actually work?

“It’s as simple as using a WiFi box: you turn it on, connect to the WiFi, and you’re good to go. No subscription, no cables, no setup. And you get 30 GB free with your first use.”


Here’s what SmartWifi looks like: a small portable device that lets you access the internet anywhere in the world, with no contract.

What are the advantages of SmartWifi compared to traditional solutions?

Alexander lists them calmly and confidently:

✅ Global connection

✅ No subscription

✅ 10-hour battery life

✅ Secure and private

✅ Compatible with all devices

“And most importantly,” he adds, “you have your own WiF, whether you’re in a car, at a hotel, by the sea, or on a train.”

They tried it, here’s what they have to say:

“With my freelance work, I often need fast and secure access while on the go. This device has changed my life.”

– Martin, 38

“Delivered in 3 days. I used it in the countryside and by the sea. The connection was perfect.”

– Julie, 29 ans

“I canceled my fiber subscription for good. I 100% recommend it.”

– Philippe, 52 ans

How much does it cost?

Alexander explains:

“My goal was to make this technology accessible to everyone, not just big companies or business travelers.”

“The price, including shipping, is$99, which is far less than a year of a regular internet subscription or roaming fees abroad.”

He concludes:

“It’s a one-time investment. No contracts. No surprise charges. Just a reliable connection, anywhere, whenever you need it.”

📦 What you get with SmartWifi:

✅ 1 next-gen SmartWifi device

✅ 30 GB of included data

✅ USB-C charging cable

✅ Simplified user manual

✅ 30-day money-back guarantee

💥 SPECIAL READER OFFER: 50% off instantly

UPDATE: Following the publication of our article, Alexander’s company has decided to offer a 50% discount to the first 1,000 buyers.

That means you can get the device not for $99, but for just $49 (shipping included)! They already have warehouses around the world and deliver within just a few days.

If you’d like to get yours, simply click the button below to check SmartWifi’s availability.

PS: This 50% discount is only available to the first 1,000 customers. If you’re interested in the product, don’t wait—over 100,000 of you read us every day.

🚨 Update: Only 217 units left at 50% off this morning.

Is it really reliable? Can it be used everywhere?

“Tested in extreme conditions: mountains, forests, open sea… In 98% of cases, the connection remains smooth, stable, and secure.”

Why such a low price for this kind of technology?

“No middlemen, no TV ads, no inflated margins. We sell directly, with no unnecessary costs: you only pay for the real value of the product.”

And what if it’s not right for us?

Alexander reassures:

“Try it with no commitment: you have 30 days to change your mind, with a full refund guaranteed, no questions asked.”

Conclusion: What should we think of SmartWifi?

Whether we like it or not, SmartWifi is shaking up the world of mobile internet access. In just a few months, it’s likely that everyone will be using it to avoid connection issues and outrageous roaming charges.

In our opinion, it’s a true revolution, and we can only applaud Alexander Meyer for his ingenuity, which now allows thousands of travelers and professionals to stay connected without breaking the bank.

How can you get one?

If you want to get yours, it’s simple: you can order it directly from the official SmartWifi website, which is the only place this product is available.

SmartWifi comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s absolutely no risk in giving it a try! If you act now, you can still take advantage of their special 50% discount, only available until the end of the week. Don’t wait to grab SmartWifi at a bargain price!

Re: Found it

Where's the link to the official website. I failed to find it using Google.

Is this it?

https://www.nativediscount.com/en/sm...mcff7bj7lj9v8g

I'd consider it if they accepted PayPal but I'm not giving my card details.

G Pay/Apple Pay accepted BUT this doesn’t sit right with me at all

---------- Post added at 18:33 ---------- Previous post was at 18:30 ----------

And that does appear to be the official site , doesn’t say how much it is after your first 30gb, no up or download speed and their ToS look somewhat sketchy


Hard pass

Re: Found it

I haven't given that lot my details either.

The 30min counter keeps resetting too

Honestly this sounds futuristic but the nodes right now wouldn't open up their networks like this.

Also what's with the one off fee. Free 30GB. Then what? I go through at least a terabyte monthly. I don't think many if not all the data providers would allow me to freeload. This is really confusing but as I said it is futuristic.

Re: Found it

All you have to do is search for one of the phrases.
Seems to be disagreement on the name of the person supposedly setting it up. One "article" says "Alex Morel" another says "Alexander Meyer". Searching for "Alex Morel" reveals accusations of it being a scam.

Re: Found it

I have never been a fan of a free lunch and this seems like a new twist on an old fashioned scam. - Actually paying to be ripped off.

Re: Found it

Smells a bit like the early days of access codes to use 3rd party telecom companies. If you had a BT landline they used to advise you to go on the BT light user scheme so you had next to no line rental. This was against BT’s terms and eventually they got wise to it and started blocking access to such numbers for light user customers. Similarly you could (for a short while) use 0800 numbers on Orange or T-Mobile to access 3rd party carriers, until of course the mobile networks started charging for access to those specific numbers.

I’ll bet this guy has found a loophole the various networks have known about but haven’t been motivated to do anything about. And as soon as this, or copycat services like it, get too popular, they’ll shut it down. That’s assuming its even legal in the first place of course.

Not the same thing. MiFi has been around a while. You can even buy them from Argos for the EE and Vodafone networks or just a TP-Link device with your own sim. Others will be available from elsewhere.
The original device being referred to seems to be a scam and is meant to use its own satellite network.

Re: Internet anywhere in the world without a subscription?

I didn't say it was. My point was the scam changed it tune. The device looks awfully alike. Bait and switch is common among conartists

The original device mentioned piggyback on masts. Local networks. Not just satellite.

Just one of many local networks.

1. Place the SmartWifi device anywhere—at home, while traveling, or even in remote areas.
2. Turn it on and let it automatically connect to the OrbitNet satellite.
3. Enjoy free, high-speed, unlimited internet—no subscription required.
The signal covers up to 50 meters around the device, making it perfect for homes, offices, or even outdoor use.
MiFi devices have been around a while and need a mobile phone subscription of some sort.
You could just as easily tether any WiFi device to your mobile phone. No extra cost involved.
