GigSky review

GigSky has the lowest entry price on this list. Its US site listed Japan from $2.99, and the same starting price for popular destinations such as Italy, Spain and France. Plans cover 200+ countries, regions or cruises, and GigSky advertises unlimited hotspot sharing, which helps if you tether a laptop. You can top up when you run out and buy plans that cover several countries. Its unlimited plans run up to 7 days, so longer unlimited stays mean buying again or choosing another provider. GigSky shows a rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on 7.7K reviews. It has fewer extras than rivals, with no phone number add-on like Saily's or aloSIM's. For a cheap small plan, or for a cruise, it is worth a look.
