I can’t speak for rental – but I bought a Skyroam hotspot through TEP 18 months ago. It never really worked properly. Most recently I was in Denmark and the device just froze at 15%. Apparently, this can be a software or firmware problem – but the company wasn’t; able to solve it and told me my device was defective and out of warranty. Part of the problem appears to be that there are no emails about updating your device routinely that go out to customers. So, you don’t know that you have a problem until you are on a trip – need Wi-Fi and are screwed. There are no links on the company website to software of firmware updates – you have to contact customer support – which makes no sense. Plus – you need to have a computer (connect to Wi-Fi) with you to perform the update – so it’s like a catch 22. Overall the customer support responds quickly but can’t really help you. Also keep in mind that they ask you for your order number for any help provided – so I would write that sucker down and paste it to the back of your device since you won’t be able to access any old emails about the order easily if you have problems. I’m going to try Keepgo instead – I’ve heard they have less technical problems.

Look into Google’s Project Fi… It’s waaay cheaper and works in more countries! It’s a SIM card for use in certain phones that is $10/gb (with a payment cap of $80 of data monthly) for data almost anywhere in the world… I’ve used it in 4 continents, in really remote places, and it’s great! My cell bill is about $45/month regardless of my travels!
