Many people became big fans of the XCom Global MiFi Hotspot. Yet, XCom's inability to cover multiple countries with one device proved to be a serious drawback.
Fortunately, XCom was aware of the problem and this week it offered a workable solution with a "EuroSIM" that can fit in either the company's MiFi Hotspot or USB modem. Now you'll be able to use unlimited data across 40 European countries, form Finland down to Spain and from Iceland all the way to Cyprus. There are a couple of gaps in the Balkans, but the coverage area should include most everywhere you'll need to go.
Though the rates will still add up if you have a long trip, we're glad to see that XCom doesn't charge extra for the all-in-one device. The initial rental fee is $17.95 per day for the MiFi Hotspot and $14.95 per day for the USB modem (members will pay $14.95 and $12.95). Extra fees can apply for shipping, insurance, and an extra battery, though shipping is waived if your trip is longer than seven days.
