For travelers, a portable Wi-Fi hotspot is a must-have. Wi-Fi on the go means you can use Google maps while driving, you can look up info about historic sites and you can find a good local pub for lunch or a pint. All without paying data charges to your mobile carrier back home.
Now the company has a new version of this product which lets you get a month of data at a time, making it perfect for snowbirds or long-term travelers.

GoData is Skyroam’s new usage plan. While previously you could buy the Solis hotspot for about $149US and then pay for unlimited Wi-Fi by the day (it was about $10US/day or $99 for the month), this new plan is a dedicated (but capped) monthly offering.

You get 1GB of data for the month for $9, with the ability to add more gigs for $9 per GB. This is a significant cut to costs for travelers.

So What’s the difference between Skyroam Daypass and GoData?

The key difference between getting Daypasses and using GoData is that Daypasses give you unlimited data, while the GoData holds you to 1GB per month.

While having unlimited data with the previous Daypass plan was fine, this is a much less expensive option—and you can add more data if you need to, paying only for what you use.

You can use Skyroam in many, many places around the globe. It works in over 130 countries worldwide, including Canada and the US, plus Europe and more. For the full list of what countries does Skyroam work in, head to http://www.TechGadgetsCanada.com and check out the blog.

Let’s dig in a bit on what this device is and how it works.
Skyroam Solis is a wireless, portable Wi-Fi hotspot that’s made for travel. The device consists of a small hockey puck-sized device that keeps you connected no matter where you are. You turn it on, and you can access the internet. The device also doubles as a power bank for your devices.

If you watched my previous review of Skyroam, you saw that it was a mighty struggle to get the device set up and connected each time. While it performed well overall, it was finicky to get each day’s data rolling. I’m ecstatic to report that the process for swapping to GoData was quick, easy and absolutely painless. And it works like a dream.
Using it while travelling over several weeks was seamless and easy. I’d turn it on, and drop it in my bag. The device connects automatically to my phone and tablet, so there’s no re-connecting each day. It’s brilliant.

You turn the device on, and it’ll automatically find the best local signal wherever you go, so you don’t have to do the legwork. What makes the magic happen behind the scenes? Skyroam’s ‘virtual SIM technology’ delivers local data, internationally, allowing you to connect to dozens of different cellular networks without changing your SIM card!

A couple of questions I get about Skyroam that I’ll answer here: Does Skyroam work on Cruise Ships? Skyroam will work while in ports or on land where there is cell reception, but not far out at sea (only satellite technology is available far from land).
Will Skyroam work on Airplanes? No, your hotspot will not work on an airplane. Skyroam uses cellular data signals, and once you get a few hundred feet off the ground, only satellite technology works. 
Overall, I can’t say enough what a pleasant experience this was compared to my previous time with Skyroam. Again, when the Solis was working it was amazing, and it still is! But with the new mobile app and the easier monthly plan, things now work better, they’re easier and it makes life so much simpler on the road—not to mention so much cheaper!

In short, if you need a portable Wi-Fi hotspot for your next trip and you want to avoid paying data overages, roaming and extra fees, get yourself a Skyroam Solis and use the new GoData plan. It’s definitely worth it.
Skyroam Solis sells for $149US and a GoData monthly pass is $9US/GB, with extra data available at $9/GB any time. It’s available from Skyroam’s website which I’ll put a link to Get Skyroam: https://www.skyroam.com?rfsn=1084357.b55b3 . BUT …
