QuestionWhat are the monthly charges?
Asked 5 years ago by Steve.
- Answer They offer an unlimited monthly plan for $99/mo, or 2 Pay-Per-GB monthly plans. If you're just using in the US, it's $6/month for 1 GB, and $6 per extra GB (no rollover). If you want global data, then it's $9/mo for 1GB and $9 per extra GB (no rollover) and can be used in any of the 130+ countries they cover. No contracts so you can sign-up or cancel anytime.

QuestionHow does this work? Like does it stop working after you use the 4g? Or is this a monthly thing?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There are no SIM cards, it uses Virtual SIM to connect to local cellular towers anywhere you go. You can buy the data by the day (24 hrs unlimited WiFi daypass), by the month (30 days of unlimited WiFi) or by the GB. Speeds as 4G as long as it's available where you are, and on the Pay-Per-GB plan, it won't slow down. No contracts for any of the options, so you can do monthly if you want, or just pay-as-you-go if you'd rather

QuestionIs it good for a gamer that need WiFi to play with friends online?
Asked 5 years ago by Hakeemgamer.
- Answer Hello Hakeem! If using Skyroam for gaming, we recommend the GoData plan as it's full speed data for best performance. However, Skyroam was not designed for long term gaming, as you may find the cost for the data needed for high bandwidth activities like gaming becomes prohibitive.

QuestionI will be traveling in metroplex areas in my rv. I am teaching remotely and using a laptop as well as a document camera. What plan would I need to get the best connection? It is a must that I have great internet connection.
Asked 4 years ago by CJ.
- Answer Hello CJ, we would recommend the GoData plan if you're looking for consistent high speed data. With our unlimited monthly plans and day pass you will experience slower speeds after a certain amount as discussed in our fair use policy on our website. GoData is one of our plans that does not fall under our fair use policy due to it's pay per GB option. Thank you for your interest and for reaching out!

QuestionHow close to a cell tower must you be in order for it to work? If I was in the middle of one of our national parks and miles from the nearest tower and wanted to send photos or a message would this work?
Asked 5 years ago by Roscoe.
- Answer Probably not. We are about 20 miles outside of Steamboat Springs, CO with a strong 3G signal and the hotspot will not work. I called the help line twice and they told me the signal was too weak. Works well in Steamboat Springs with a LTE signal.
