We.Stream Device
This Category 4 hotspot device has 2 SIM slots and an embedded cloud SIM for international use. While the device itself uses older LTE technology, the multiple SIM slots and a built-in global SIM are unusual and handy features for some nomads, particularly those who travel frequently outside the U.S.
The embedded SIM technology allows for data access in over 100 countries and We.Stream also offers a built-in VPN.
Data can be purchased directly from the device through We.Stream service or you can add your own SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobile. Mobile Must Have also sells the device and pairable plans.

We.Stream Data Service
We.Stream direct data service is pretty lackluster. We.Stream data service is high-priced, and has data limitations that do not make it a great solution for U.S. based nomads seeking U.S. based data. However, for those who plan to be hypermobile across international borders, We.Stream may be a solution.
We.Stream offers data service that can be purchased via and used directly on the We.Stream device.
