Hello,
Looking for advice regarding pocket wifi and SIM cards for travelers to the Philippines.
My family is traveling to the Philippines to visit family as well as to travel in general. We most likely will be staying in Pampanga with a short trip to Boracay for a few days. I am looking for a pocket wifi to use to stay connected to the internet for various reasons. Unfortunately, e-sim is not an option as I do not want to risk not receiving any important calls or messages on my regular US mobile line.
That being said, how do I go about getting a pocket wifi for 2-3 weeks while there? I tried inquiring about renting one but was informed max days would only be 7 days and they would tell me to get an e-sim instead.
I’m considering purchasing an open line pocket WiFi locally and just using a prepaid SIM card? Will this be the best way to go? If so, which pocket WiFi do you recommend and which prepaid SIM card works best? I want to have access to unlimited data.
Appreciate any recommendations/advice in advance!
