Is there such a thing as an international mobile wireless provider?

Maybe it’s just a case of knowing what search terms to use. 🙂 There are several that cover many countries – some Europe, some claim up to 230 countries (although I contest that there are even that many countries in existence), and others are just discounted. I’ll list a few I found:

Worth noting that I’m in Australia at present, so my searches are returning a lot of Aussie-centric sites. I used google in Canada and Europe to find this in the past, by searching for terms like global sim and travel sim.

I use Boingo for accessing private wifi at airports and cafes that you would otherwise have to pay for. It is about $10 per month and works in many countries including Latvia. I did a search for hotspots at http://wifi.boingo.com and they seems to mostly be in Riga. So if you are staying there great, but if you are going out in the countryside not great.

If you want cell phone data then I have just bought local USB modem device for about $50 and SIM card with local data plan. I have done this in Boliva, Paraguay and Chile, haven’t tried in Latvia but I assume they have them there too.

Finally when I travel in less developed countries there are always lots of internet cafes and they will often let you connect your laptop direct to their internet via a cable if you pay them a small fee. This gives great speed and cost of about $1 per hour. I am not sure where Latvia is on the internet development scale so you will have to scope this idea out on the ground.
