Philippine Airlines (PAL) is now offering mobile WiFi hotspots with international data roaming called myPAL Roam 24. This basically a rental service that includes free use of the WiFi device with an international SIM that supports data roaming to 87 countries (US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, entire South East Asia).
The service offers unlimited data for only Php390USD 7INR 563EUR 6CNY 48 per day. To get one, just visit their booking page and request for a unit (up to 20 units), schedule a start date and end date as well as the country of destination. We’re not sure if it can support roaming in multiple countries in a single trip (we hope it does).
You can choose how you receive or return the device — free shipping within Metro Manila (Php150USD 3INR 217EUR 2CNY 19 nationwide), pick it up and drop it off at PAL Boutique Outlets or get it Onboard (Php50USD 0.85INR 72EUR 0.81CNY 6).
Smart has a similar service (Smart World Traveler WiFi) and costs Php390USD 7INR 563EUR 6CNY 48 but is limited to 1GB per day (throttled to 2G speeds after). Globe does not have one but if you are a postpaid subscriber, just activate it when abroad and you get unlimited data roaming for Php599USD 10INR 865EUR 10CNY 74 a day. The myPAL Roam looks like the best option among them.
You can check it out here (this was offered to me since I’m a Mabuhay Miles member and I have a scheduled flight in a couple of weeks).

P490/24 hours daw po
I hope charging starts and renews every 24 hours just like Globe’s unlike Smart postpaid that gets renewed at 12am no matter what time you started.
