Bump. The roam mobility rates look awful
https://roammobility.com/data-plans

I'm going to be in Los Angeles for 5 days with 7 friends. So far I think the best option I've found is:

-Buy AOW SIM card for $10 CAD https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX68302
-Use their $2.99 USD/day 500mb option https://alwaysonlinewireless.com/plans#our-plans
-Use this SIM in a non-primary phone and leave tether on
-Wifi off phones. Probably get 2 of these for the 8 of us, so 4 devices / 1 SIM. See: https://support.alwaysonlinewireless...ring-included-

Cost: $10+$15USD = ~$30CAD / 5 days. Even with sharing this among 2 people / SIM still seems cheaper than Roam-Like-Home.

My travel isn't until May Long but I wanna hop on this while the SIM is still on sale at MemEx until next week. So unless someone else can recommend a cheaper option...
