You want pocket wifi becasue 1) it's cheaper than roaming, 2) "unlimited", fast data.

But you will be lugging another piece of equipment, and possibly an external battery pack. Coverage could be terrible if you use one from a cheap provider.

I only buy local SIM cards. Have been doing so for the last 7 years.
