Anyone have an opinion on mobile hotspot by CalxyOS? (members.calyxinstitute.org)

Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable?

The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

OP probably means this:

Internet Membership

Sign up for an Internet Membership and enjoy unlimited 4G or 5G mobile internet in all US states and territories.

Sounds very interesting! With such a service, I could finally throw away my phone number. That is, if this is a mobile hotspot like solution.
Its only US, though.

Yeah, only US probably due to the "education" radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study
