unreliable
May 3, 2024
purchased the muama ryoko unit in december anticipating travel in january. it worked fine for a few months, then died. would not hold a charge. when i tried to replace the battery, Batteries & Bulbs told me it was proprietary and i'd need to contact the company. when i did so, i was told ryoko doesn't provide battery replacement options and i was encouraged to purchase a new unit. NO THANK YOU!

It is far better to buy a portable WIFI router from China or Ebay - Make sure it is UNLOCKED. Then get a DATA ONLY sim from the likes of Smarty - 1 month unlimited is only £20.

Malicious website for purchasing.
May 3, 2024
I have just purchased device yesterday and this is not about the device but a warning about their website. I used paypal to pay for the purchase and it has my private email address only. for a reason beyond my comprehension I start receiving email from "Ryoko | Payments " to my work email which I have not provided as well as to my second private email as well. this might be valid for the reason that I filled out some fields on paying with credit card option but never went through with it (obviously they saved information in every case) now they request to go through the purchase even though I did with paypal already. very annoying and not data safe site (read untrustful).

BUYER BEWARE!
May 2, 2024

BEWARE! I purchased 3 of these units. I was not aware that after spending $177 that i would also have a monthly charge for a data subscription. When requesting a return, I was sent an out of the USA address to return it to: Returns - Logismart

Galinės g. 1, 13-14 rampa, Galinė

LT-14247 Vilniaus r.

Lithuania

The postage to return this item is excessive. Since it was mailed to me from California, don't see why it's not returnable to that address. Also, on their website, they do not inform of this issue, just say it's returnable, so there is NOT full disclosure. Had I know, would NEVER have purchased. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

I also purchased 2 units. They were shipped from California, Rancho Cucamonga to be exact I called the number they have for their office in California and SURPISE! SURPISE! that phone number has a recording stating, NO LONGER IN SERVICE. And I believe they want the units to be returned to, Lithuania to discourage the buyers from retuning the units due to the expensive shipping. And they legally keep your money. Bottom line it's a RIPP-OFF!!! I PERSONALLY DO NOT RECOMEMMEND THIS PRODUCT... c

Purchase was not worth it, lost my money
April 9, 2024
I received my unit a week ago, I have not used it much, only about a few hours, find out that it only shows 4G but it is only LTE. My devices cannot maintain a wifi connection, service always says "Limited Service". Now I am finding out that it would be expensive to return. I pre-paid a six-month plan, seems I lost my money.

I ordered 1 unit, and received 5, I paid $429.00 AU . After contacting the company and advised them to Refund my money, I received an e-mail that they're busy and will get in touch with me soon. In the meantime I received the 5 Muama Ryoko portables. And most likely will never see my money, I will warn all future potential buyers of this product and the company. For them its just all about selling, not the Customer service. Peter G

The pice for the basic plan with ryoko has gone up to nearly £20. That’s for a 3G plan. RIP OFF!

SallyForth March 28, 2024

I would go through 10 GB and two days. And it cost $39? Absolutely ridiculous and a total rip off. Don't buy it. Use your cell phone hotspot for $10 a month.

BEWARE!
February 20, 2024

I can't say how disappointed I am in this company. I have used this type of device successfully in Australia and I was hoping to get, as advertised a worldwide WIFI but no I can't even get the thing to work and the support is so confusing. Like others, I too ordered one but got 4 with the same issue I had to return three costing me $90+ these people are SCAM. BEWARE .

BEWARE

Unit worked great for a 1-1/2 weeks then would not charge. Company would not send new battery but did agree to stop charges - but did not, numerous emails with them agreeing to cancel still resulted in them charging my credit card. Have reported them for FRAUD.

No internet on Ryoko.
January 10, 2024
Please send me information on why ryoko does not get internet. Would appreciate. Will keep the ryoko if I can get it internet connected.

Liars!

I have had this piece of crap like two years now. Try it here, try it there. Pretty sure they stated this could be used in the middle of the wilderness, halfway to nowhere! Uh, yea, NO! Because, if the flippin contraption has no internet connection ~ ya know… it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work in any capacity on this planet! TAP69~

Do Not Order From This Company - scammed
December 13, 2023

I ordered 1 unit. Their system came back with 4 units ordered. The service rep could not change the order (which was requested within 10 minutes of the order being placed). Returns must be sent to Lithuania, although the distribution center is in the US. The Lithuanian return address, according to the post office does not exist. Never did receive the sim cards.

NicoleLa Faive June 06, 2024

SIM Card is already installed.

Was I scammed?
October 23, 2023
I made an order on the 5th of October and as of today 23rd of October nothing has arrived at my address, which they did not record properly. I regard this as a scam unless proven otherwise, as they deducted the amount from my account.

Please read and research reviews from those who have legit purchased this before buying.
October 18, 2023

Just ordered and kind of regretting it already as they claim, "NO Hidden Fees" then you get directed to the page of viaota.com where you find out the cost of the plan......It does not tell you upfront! Found this MISLEADING! Let's hope the product is good and will actually arrive and work.

Not worth your time or money
September 13, 2023

This product is very bad and has spotty connection and now won’t charge, don’t buy it it's a piece of junk.

Don’t WASTE your money!

Purchased two devices for our travel to the Philippines. The problem is that the Philippines have two different service providers and this device only works with Globe. My cellphone had better service than these devices.

I had somehow run out of data considering I had poor coverage. I added more data (regretfully) and the app never updated the data added. I chatted with customer service at least 4 times with them constantly reassuring me it would appear on my app but never did. So I could never tell how much data was being used or remaining. It was VERY spotty service so I ended up having to buy another local device to use with the other service provider SMART. I should’ve just done that then pay for two devices with the warranty. I ordered it two weeks before my trip and was gone for 3 weeks so when I tried to return the devices I was outside of the return window.

So I paid for two devices, paid for extra data on one, purchased two local devices to use with the other service provider SMART plus got charged by my regular service provider in the US for extra charges on my cellphone. All in all it was NOT worth it. It sounded like a great idea but definitely a BAD decision. The reason I bought two was because there were times we were not all together and needed Wi-Fi to keep in contact.

So for those of you traveling, it’s best to find out who they partner with because other countries may also have multiple providers some of which are not as good as others. Also, I did try to have them switch it from Globe to SMART and it was told it’s not possible. You’re better getting a local device and they provide SIM cards at the airport. It will DEFINITELY cost less than the amount of money I spent between all the devices and data services! If you’re really set on giving it a try I’m looking to offload two devices that cost too much for what it’s worth! Otherwise they’ll be collecting dust since the company wasn’t empathetic at all to my frustration and disappointment in the device! I can’t recommend enough to think twice or do more research about the service partners!

Thanks for the review. I purchased MUAMA Ryoko Portable WIFI gadget but it's not activated yet since I will not be travelling till January 2024 to the Php. From your comment & review, I think I will not be using this little gadget after all with the issues it has. I will chose a different portable wifi instead.

SCAM--do not waste time on this product.
June 16, 2023

This product is a scam. It does not work as advertised. Returns are not accepted. There is an auto-renewal that is applied without consent.

You are unable to cancel or remove the credit card from your account. They will continue to charge you without your consent and you will have to dispute the charges and they will not give a refund on any data plans.

Does not work
April 10, 2023

When travelling to Pakistan and Vietnam was unable to connect, yet when I called customer service they said I used all my time on my plan and no refund.

Stay away from this product, plans are expensive and they charge you even if the device never connects. I would give it a zero star if I could, waste of money.

Scammers
December 28, 2022

I purchased a wifi Muama at the end of Oct 2022 had trouble with simcard. Called the company up to send me another Sim card. Took pictures and sent to them which they requested. Now being Dec. 28th and not a damn thing has not happened. So this product is a pile of bullshit. Also using the product was free. That is bull now they are saying you have to pay for a plan so much a month. Now I am out 148.67. I guess the scammers got me.

SCAM ?

I just tried to purchase ONE Muama Ryoko wifi device, for $89.00 with my Royal Bank of Scotland credit card. RBS declined to pay as Ryoko had tried to bill me £218 and RBS suspected fraud, Thank You RBS I leave you to make up your own mind
