I have purchased US monthly data package while on vacation. I have 300MO and was wondering is it per day usage as I am already over the limit and juat started vacation?
Yes, hotel wifi is a great way to extend your 300mb roaming allowance.
Some thoughts....
do you plan to stay the entire trip in hotel for wifi? Many use Roam Mobility with a SIM card swap or on a second phone to maximize my roaming allowance in most US States. http://www.roammobility.com/talk-text-data
how fast is that hotel wifi? how fast is it in the evening when everyone else is using wifi after dinner? I connect to this site to see if it's about 2Mbps for video. Otherwise, limit myself to just emails. Wifi speeds improve in the morning and mid-day. Also experiment with wifi in the bathroom.... I discovered the wifi works 4 times faster when I'm closer to the hallway in some hotels instead of the window desk as the repeaters are in the halls. http://rimouski.speedtest.telus.com/
hotel wifi is unsecured.... consider a VPN to prevent data eavesdropping on your userid's and passwords.
is this hotel an online booking... do include the wifi speeds in your hotel review to help others.
It is per 30 days. If you are using data at that rate , you might find purchasing a hotspot device cost effective, or unlocking your phone and buying a US SIM
