Haven't looked to see if Mexico or Canada have anything similar. At that point we think it would make more sense to buy a MiFi device that is unlocked and buy a new SIM card in each country and then just pay as you go for the data.<br /><br />If they were as reasonable as Korea WiFi then it would it wouldn't be so bad.<br /><br />In Mexico buying the Telcel stick is certainly affordable but it will only service one device at a time. We love having ours but it would be better if we had a MiFi device.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-47502737441698539672014-11-17T19:58:37.307-05:002014-11-17T19:58:37.307-05:00Yes, we have a "Mi-Fi" for use in Canada...Yes, we have a "Mi-Fi" for use in Canada. It's locked to the Bell network though, and apparently not easy to unlock.

If the US cell companies would get their competitive acts together and offer something like this, so many folks would be able to rent them for a month or so while on vacation and turn them back in once they got home. <br />KarenInTheWoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884478307015605168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79493457745115943862014-11-17T08:57:35.062-05:002014-11-17T08:57:35.062-05:00I've never seen or heard of anything like it i...I've never seen or heard of anything like it in the U.S. or Mexico. It would have come in handy on our trip through the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. was the most difficult to connect. Mexico has a ciber on every street corner not to mention restaurants, Office Depot, Office Max, well the list goes on. When I work in Texas and need to send my reports, Kinkos charges .39 cents a minute. Truly a ripoff. Mexico ciber cafes are cheap, as low as 10 pesos an hour and the small cafes make a ton of money. Maybe all this is going by the wayside with the use of SmartPhones. Probably will need to buy one soon.living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27397500489720667322014-11-17T06:58:21.893-05:002014-11-17T06:58:21.893-05:00Excellent idea for tourists, glad it worked for yo...Excellent idea for tourists, glad it worked for you.
