Excellent customer service

Hotspot Shield is a very useful and reassuring addition to the security of your mobile communications, especially when private information is sent using public wifi. Quick, easy and fast connection. Their customer service are very efficient and helpful too when you need to contact them.

Very understandung support

Very understandung support. I could not reach the web-site without VPN (ironically) and the Support team provided me with .exe of the desktop application via e-mail. Is the best I could even wish for. Thanks to ms. Abigail for her quick response.

Great Customer Service

I had an issue getting one of my phones linked to my existing account. I emailed Hotspot Shield Support to get assistance. They emailed me with detailed instructions on how to get this done, and also emailed me a day or so later to make sure I was able to get it it done, or if I needed additional assistance. Great customer service you don’t see much of anymore. I have been a customer for over three years now, and will continue to use Hotspot Shield in the future. Great protection for your phone!
