How to Save at Unidata
Unidata sells the U30 and U50 portable Wi-Fi hotspot devices, using its own “CloudSIM” technology and a library of local SIM cards to connect in different countries without swapping a physical SIM. It’s aimed at travelers and remote workers who need reliable internet across multiple countries. This guide covers the ways to pay less.

Step 1: Check the device price and specs before choosing a plan
As of September 2026, the U30 device is listed at $140, with a stated 12-hour battery, 4G LTE speed and support for up to 10 connected devices. Confirm the device price and specs first, since the data plan you choose afterward is a separate cost from the hardware.
Step 2: Match your data plan to your actual trip
Unidata sells data plans separately from the device itself, through a “catalogue of data plans to use right away.” Since it draws from a library of local SIM cards worldwide rather than one global rate, matching the plan to your specific destination country avoids overpaying for coverage you don’t need.
Step 3: Buy the device once, reuse it on future trips
Because the U30 is a reusable device rather than a single-trip SIM, the cost is a one-time hardware purchase — buying it once and only paying for new data plans on future trips is cheaper over time than a disposable travel SIM for every trip.
Step 4: Apply a promo code at checkout
- Choose your device (U30 or U50) and check its specs against your travel needs.
- Add to cart, and separately select a data plan for your destination.
- Enter your promo code in the discount field.
- Confirm the total dropped before paying.

Other ways to save
- Buy the device once and reuse it across trips, rather than a disposable SIM every time.
- Match your data plan to your destination instead of a one-size-fits-all plan.
- Compare the U30 and U50 specs against your actual needs (battery life, device count, speed) before choosing the pricier model.
- Check for a bundle of device + starter data plan, if offered, versus buying them separately.

Alternatives
- Skyroam / Solis: another portable Wi-Fi hotspot brand with a similar global-SIM approach.
- A local prepaid SIM card: cheaper for a single destination, but requires swapping SIMs country to country.
- Your phone’s international roaming plan: convenient with no extra device, but often more expensive per GB than a dedicated hotspot plan.
