  • Abstract:  Karma's slogan is “Bring WiFi with you, everywhere you go”. That is unfortunate because the reality is more like “Bring WiFi with you, but only where Sprint 4G WiMax goes” which is far fewer places than where they claim to go.Poor CoverageDespite claims o...

  • True pay-as-you-go pricing, 100MB of data awarded when someone uses your hotspot to sign up for a Karma account
  • Coverage limited to WiMax in 80 cities, Data more expensive than what's available with monthly plans offered by some carriers
  • Karma's mobile hotspot and pay-as-you-go service is worthwhile for anyone with intermittent cellular data needs. The data is more expensive than what you can get with some other plans, but it never expires so you truly pay for only what you use....

  • Affordable prepaid mobile data. Potential for limitless free data. Good speeds where WiMax is available.
  • No clear path to LTE hardware upgrades. Potential security risks. Up-front cost is a bit steep
  • The Karma Wi-Fi Hotspot modem lets you earn limitless free mobile data for sharing the love, but protecting your privacy is up to you....

  • Abstract:  Whether it's to get our Wifi-only tablets online , save battery on our phones or simply diversify to have connections from multiple carriers, many turn to a mobile hotspot for their data needs. Most hotspots follow a very similar billing model as a phone ...

  • Decent battery life, Acceptable throughput, Tiny size makes it wonderfully portable – put it in your jacket pocket or velcro it to your laptop lid, Competitive pricing, Those adept at persuasion may never again have a cellular data bill courtesy of Soci
  • Coverage outside of cities is non-existent, but the 2014 LTE migration will change that, A bit pricey upfront, wagering that you can refer others to earn bandwidth is a bit of a gamble, Not currently an easy way to share bandwidth with someone else, but
  • I considered several of Karma's competitors before making my decision. I won't go too into detail on my reasoning, other than to say that the Social Bandwith thing was a major attractive factor and it's already proven to be useful. Will it remain useful ...

  • No contract or monthly fee. Purchased data does not expire. Share your connection and earn free data.
  • Slow network. Most Internet users are wary of unknown free networks. Non-customizable SSIDs
  • Karma offers convenient contract-free hotspot access at a fair price for occasional users. The sharing features are a nice extra, but don’t expect to earn much free bandwidth (yet)—or to find many Karma networks to sign on to with your bandwidth acco...

  • Do you need backup 4G connectivity, but not to use all the time? Is there Clearwire coverage in your city? Then yes. At $79 a Karma hotspot isnt too expensive by hotspot standards, but of course the real value comes in the form of not having to pay to no...
