What is Giving Tuesday? 

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. It is a movement to create an international of giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season. Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a response to commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season (Black Friday and Cyber Monday).

How is Skyroam participating?

On Giving Tuesday, Skyroam is partnering with The Rachel Adams Globalization Program to bring connectivity to those most in need by donating 35 Skyroam Solis 4G LTE WiFi hotspots to a Haitian non-profit organization, Bisou Bisou Haiti. This is a unique opportunity to have a positive impact on the community in Haiti, where people rely heavily on mobile connectivity in the aftermath of natural disasters.

After listening to feedback, we're excited to announce a monthly subscription option to meet a top need for continuous mobile WiFi on-the-go. The new Monthly Unlimited Global WiFi Subscription provides affordable rates for longer trips or continuous connectivity with Skyroam’s same contract-free model. This option offers a secure, seamless global data network without any SIM swapping - making it easy for people to hop from one country to the next. 

“We want to eliminate the hassles of staying connected both at home and abroad with on-demand WiFi service available anytime, anywhere,” said Jing Liu, Skyroam Founder and CEO. “Our mission is to make it easy, for people to align their dynamic mobile connectivity needs with where they’re going, when they’re going, and the length of their trip. Our new monthly portable WiFi hotspot subscription offering solves a major pain point for anyone constantly on-the-go.”

We’re excited to announce that a new and improved a.skyroam.com is now available! Starting this week, our consumer account portal will have updated, easy-to-use features for buying global WiFi service, keeping track of purchase and usage history, accessing support, and more! Don’t forget, each daypass gives you 24-hours of unlimited WiFi on up to 5 gadgets simultaneously — you can even use it in multiple countries within this period!
