Can I use Nighthawk m1 in different countries?

I am planning to buy the nighthawk m1 for my sailboat. Does it work with different SIM cards in different countries? Thanks!

We have different SKUs for different regions that support the unique bands for the regions. 

 

Please advise where you are located and where you are planning to travel.

 

Thanks

John

    Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. But what does that mean? I am in Colombia right now. Planning on traveling Central and South America, the Caribbean Sea, and eventually maybe North America, Europe, the Pacific… in short, everywhere. Does this mean that one device will not work?

      M1 can't support all regions. You can try our new models, such as MR6450-100EUS. It can support EMEA carriers, and also with limited roaming support in north America and South America.

       

      Thanks

        Can I have a list of the nighthawk m1 models that work in the different regions. I will only be using this international with sim cards from those areas.

        I am traveling to:

         

        Mexico

        Hunderes

        Colombia

        The Carribean (bahamas, dominican republic, puerto rico)

        Bonaire

        Utila

        Aruba

        South Africa in cape town

         

        I would need to know what models work for what regions so I can buy the correct models for these areas.
