They have a kickstarter going for an LTE device on the same basic plan. The number of countries looks interesting. I have to say that I've been moving more towards multi-country solutions. I didn't buy anything local in Australia and relied on Toggle, plus my ATT international data plan in my iPhone, and using a Skyroam modem one day for an office emergency. It is hard to calculate the exact costs, but we have Diamond with Hilton which means that we have free in hotels, I have a Boingo courtesy of one of my credit cards, and I have the ATT on my iPhone which means most of the time I have LTE roaming and free VOIP calling to the US.
In Dubai, I bought a prepaid to have a local number to deal with friends. (I used to live there and taxis). As I'm getting older and lazier and the price difference is closing, I'm less inclined to run around town to save $30. If it is saving $300, sure, but there is some convenience factor. As Google Project Fi, Three, and TMobile USA are offering affordable solutions coupled with what the EU is doing to roaming rates the days of insane roaming rates is starting to seem numbered.
