![]() ![]() Note about RENTING vs BUYING… Due to the cost of shipping, if you plan on using your Skyroam on more than 2-3 trips, it's recommended that you BUY a device instead of RENT it. So although Skyroam would be less expensive for active daily Internet surfers who require unlimited data, Keepgo would be more cost effective for folks who are just looking to have access to emergency data when they need it. So if you're planning on using less than 50-100 mbs of data per day (just for emergencies for example), you can make 1 GB last for almost a month. And the reason is because the data you purchase with Keepgo does not expire for a year. Keepgo, however, wins in the price category for travelers who are looking to barely use Internet each day, but have access to it for emergencies or occasional use. Unlimited Internet is an attractive feature with Skyroam, whereas, the least expensive you can get away with Keepgo is buying data at $8/GB in Europe and USA or in packs of 10GB which come to $21.90 per gigabyte for worldwide data. Their hotspot device costs more than the Keepgo hotspot to purchase, but they offer unlimited Internet, and they also offer the option to rent. Skyroam wins in the price category for travelers who will require regular Internet use. They do not offer device rentals or unlimited plans. You can switch between the plans anytime. Their new GoFi Europe USA Plan offers data at a flat rate of $8/GB in those regions. Data is priced in bundles at $14 for 500MB, $26 for 1GB, $61 for 3GB, $88 for 5GB, and $165 for 10GB. ![]() Keepgo's SIM Cards cost $49 and their WiFi Hotspots cost $99 with free shipping to 38 countries. Or you can RENT a Solis for $9.95/day + shipping in both directions, which includes the device and unlimited Internet access. You can BUY the Skyroam Solis device for $149.99 + shipping and pay $9/day for unlimited Internet with Skyroam, and that price includes 1 Free Day Pass. An International SIM Card would be a better solution for a traveler who doesn't want to carry an additional device. And in regards to SIM cards that work in any unlocked phone, Skyroam does not offer this type of service. In regards to hot spots, the Skyroam Solis has a longer battery life and is less expensive, but can only connect 5 devices at once versus Keepgo's ability to connect 16 devices. In the device category, it's a toss-up because Keepgo offers two different kinds of devices. Skyroam's Solis doubles as a 6000mAh power bank, lasts more than 16 hours on a single charge, and can power up to 5 devices with Internet at once, while simultaneously charging one of them. Their hotspot devices last up to 11 hours on a charge and can connect up to 16 devices at once. Keepgo offers two different options for international data: 1) WiFi hotspot devices, and 2) World SIM Cards that work with your existing unlocked mobile device.
