\"TripButler:<\/div>\n

\u00a0It Works on Tablets, Smartphones and Computers! <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can always save on roaming charges when traveling abroad if you carry a Wi-Fi hotspot<\/strong> with you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the premise of TripButler.com, a new service which enables you to rent a portable device, said to be small enough to fit into a shirt or jacket pocket, by the day for your travels to a single or multiple countries abroad.<\/p>\n

And, the device can handle your mobile needs for up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets or computers, the company says.<\/p>\n

So, for example, TripButler charges $8.40 per day (or $58.80 for the week) for a Feb. 1-8 sojourn in multiple countries in Europe<\/strong>. And TripButler ships the device to your initial destination.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a bargain when you consider the hefty bill you might otherwise get for roaming charges on your return home.<\/p>\n

There are data limits that come with the rental charge, however.<\/p>\n

You get 350MB included in the weekly rate above, and after that you can book extra data capacity at the rate of $0.02 per MB.<\/p>\n

TripButler says its Wi-Fi hotspot device works anywhere 2G or 3G service is available.<\/p>\n

The service is geared for Europe and each device is country-specific, unless you opt to rent one for multiple European countries.<\/p>\n

If traveling with friends and family<\/a><\/strong> you can share the hotspot, but TripButler cautions to keep in mind that you would be putting pressure on your data limits as you do so.<\/p>\n

TripButler also has Android and iPhone apps to enable voice calling, as well.<\/p>\n
