If you don't know what this device is, you can just Google Karma Go and read about it since I cant post a link for some reason. If you already know about this product, can you explain it? Are there really no hidden fees and you just get WiFi wherever you are? I won't have to worry about going over the data limit on my AT&T 10GB plan I share with my mom and sister.

Edit: I really don't think sharing 10 gigabytes between three people, adding a fourth that wants to stream music and play online games is going to cut it.

Is it a good deal?

well no, because you will have to haul around an extra little box everywhere you go. just stick with cellular data

Are you wanting to use the data from the KG your self or are you wanting to share its data(with your family, or whoever)?

 

Honestly I like the idea behind Karma Go, but its too new of a service for me to form an opinion.

I would use it strictly for myself since I use a lot of data and I'm paying for the damn thing.

That would be good then. From what I understand, you pay for data then it will roll over for as many months until you need to refill(so if you are a lightweight user then this would be good). If you use a lot of data, it might be worth looking into a Samsung Hotspot Pro from T-Mobile, since they offer pretty cheap plans(and no contracts :)), but before you do anything, I would check the data coverage for both T-Mobile and Sprint(since Karma Go uses uses Sprint) and see the coverage offered in your area(or where you intend on using it).

I'm in a pretty major city so I'm not worried about coverage and I've checked where I would intend to use it. They have coverage.
