The Hotspots I Tested
The [Skyroam Solis Lite Mobile Hotspot](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Skyroam+Solis+Lite+Mobile+Hotspot&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my favorite for short trips. Day passes were cheap and the device doubled as a power bank.
Check price on Amazon →I compared five mobile hotspots across three countries to see which ones stay connected, save on roaming, and last a full travel day.

The Hotspots I Tested
The [Skyroam Solis Lite Mobile Hotspot](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Skyroam+Solis+Lite+Mobile+Hotspot&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my favorite for short trips. Day passes were cheap and the device doubled as a power bank.
Common questions
Three of the five hotspots I compared are eSIM based with global plans built in. Two used physical SIMs which gave more carrier flexibility but more setup.
Average download was 20 to 50 Mbps in major cities. Rural areas dropped to 3G speeds, which still handled email and maps fine.
