The ad-supported model is okay for emergencies but the lack of hotspot support on that specific provider is a dealbreaker for me since I usually need to tether my laptop.

I noticed Maaltalk offers unlimited data plans that actually include hotspotting which is way more practical for remote work. Their app also has some decent AI tools for translating menus if you're heading somewhere like Japan or Korea.
