It says 80 cities are covered… I’d call that decent. Not great. Not necessarily ‘most’. But decent.

Then $10 a month… that’s $50 a month less than you pay a wireless carrier anyway!

Plus, it’s not like the service won’t up and vanish before you flip it’s value.. If it had a 3 year service guarantee maybe…

I am not disputing the fact that free data for a year is good. I just felt that you could have included this information in your article.

I think this is a good way to safe for users that use data sparingly.

You write for a tech blog and only use 200mb a month? Suck it up and pray you’re damn phone bill.

I’m not certain I’d actually go through with it – it’s the thought that counts.

And the answer to your question is no.

If you had a non-smart cell phone, a cheap tablet (rooted kindle fire, for instance) and this, you’d be pretty okay. Free WiFi at tons of places, this when you don’t have it..

Also, very limited coverage area.
