Notably for mobile users roaming in the EU, this problem has already been solved by the European Parliament:<p><pre><code> Under the wide-ranging telecoms reforms, the cost of making a call or downloading internet data in another EU country will be the same as at home. The change is due to take effect from 15 December next year. It still requires approval from EU governments. In recent years the EU has legislated to lower the costs, so telecoms operators have been forced to cap their fees. The package was adopted by 534 votes to 25. </code></pre> Source: MEPs vote to scrap mobile roaming fees in Europe <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26866966" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-europe-26866966</a><p><a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/news-room/content/20140401STO41552/html/Connecting-the-continent-how-MEPs-could-make-electronic-communication-easier#print" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.europarl.europa.eu&#x2F;news&#x2F;en&#x2F;news-room&#x2F;content&#x2F;2014...</a>

For those living in US I recommend buying TMobile service for travel - free data roaming abroad (speed-capped) and 20 cent&#x2F;minute calls. I think text messages are free as well.

I can see carriers getting pissed off and nixing this. However, aside from that potential fail, it looks like a really expensive solution to a nice to have problem. Since &#x27;buy a local sim card&#x27; is the effective competition here and the thing is as big as two phones, this is only going to appeal to people who (1) travel frequently (2) have a constant need for connectivity (3) do not have time to buy a local sim card (4) don&#x27;t mind carrying extra weight. I wish them luck but wouldn&#x27;t bet on this product succeeding.

I love the idea, especially since I live in Switzerland and chances are that the EU laws won&#x27;t apply to us. BUT the device is way too bulky for my taste. I&#x27;d love to see something like a usb&#x2F;data stick instead of this huge box.

Seams like a security nightmare for them. Or does each customer get it&#x27;s &quot;own&quot; bunch of &quot;simcards&quot;.
