For travelers with a multi-country itinerary, Karma Voyage Internet can bring substantial savings because travelers would not need to purchase multiple SIM cards-one for each country.
May I use a VPN?
Yes you may. Karma does not restrict VPN usage.
May I bring my own device? How about iPhones and Android devices?
For hotspot devices, we only offer the Karma Internet device.

Does Karma Voyage Internet use 4G LTE? What are the typical connection speeds?
Yes, Karma Voyage Internet uses LTE for internet connectivity by working with the top mobile networks in every country where we offer service. Your LTE coverage depends on local factors such as network signal strength at your location, and which country the device is in. While we expect LTE to be widely available, we cannot guarantee it due to local network conditions outside of our control. We have seen LTE speeds from 5Mbps to 50Mbps, depending on country and strength of signal.
How does rollover work?
Your unused data will rollover to the next month’s balance as long as the Base fee for Voyage Plan is paid every month.
How do I know when to refill my data balance?
Please check your prepaid balance regularly. If you have run out of data and can no longer connect, you will need to join another data network in order to complete your top-up.
Can I add more data to my plan?
Yes! Adding more data is easy. Visit https://www.yourkarma.com and login to your customer portal.
What is your privacy policy?
Karma respects your privacy and is committed to the highest privacy standards in the industry.
I am now outside the US but I cannot get any service. What should I do?
1. Please check your device settings to make sure “Roaming” is enabled and ensure the Roaming Network setting is set to “Any Network.”
2. Please note that if you reset your device, the device will default to “Disable Roaming.” In that situation, you will need to enable the Roaming setting again in your settings in order to use Karma Voyage Internet.
3. Please power-cycle your device (that means turn your device off and power it back on).
Also if you have an iPhone or Android device, you may also need to update your device.
1. Find a WiFi zone for your device for basic connectivity.
2. Dial ##873283# and press enter. If you have any data connectivity, then your device should update.
3. We recommend for customers to update their device before leaving the US.
Are there overage fees?
No. When you run out of your data package, you will need to add more data to your account in order to continue using the device. There will not be any surprise overage fees.
What happens when I use all my data (free 5GB)?
If you use all your data, you can order more at within your Karma Go account.
When will the data expire?
You have three months to use the data. If the data expires, you can choose a new data plan to continue using your device. You cannot get a refund on expired data.
Are there any monthly pricing plans?
Yes. We do have monthly pricing plans available in addition to data packages, which you can purchase within your Karma Go account.
Will the data packages stay at the current price point?
We can’t promise that data rates will remain the same forever, but our data rates are always competitive.
How much data will I use?
For surfing the web and sending emails, you’ll probably use 10GB/month or less. If you’re using a hotspot for all music downloads and movie streaming, it could be more than 50GB/ month. Most of our customers fall somewhere in between. That’s why we offer 5GB free. See how fast you use the data and it will help guide you to the right choice for your usage habits.
If I give this as a gift, will it be easy for the recipient to add more data?
Yes. The recipient would just create their own Karma Go account once the initial data package has expired. You won’t be charged again. It’s simple.
Why should I buy a hotspot if I can use my phone?
When you use your phone for tethering, there are bandwidth restrictions and it drains your battery quickly. You’ll also be charged for expensive overage costs by many carriers.
I have a device from another carrier. Can I buy data from you?
Nope, you aren’t able to bring other WiFi devices to use with Karma, as they aren’t compatible at the moment.
What's your return policy?
We offer a 45 day return period for the device, but you won’t be eligible for a refund if data has been used/consumed. If there’s a problem with the device, we can exchange it.
Where can I check coverage in my area?

Fast ones. Karma Go runs on Sprint’s LTE network, including Sprint Spark. Depending on your location and coverage, this comes with download speeds of 6-8Mbps, including highs of 25Mbps. Upload speeds will be around 3Mbps.
Why do you not have a support phone number?
Karma limits support to online communication for a few reasons:
Low prices – Online support allows us to keep Karma’s data pricing down.
Easy instructions – Online support also helps our team gather system details and other information so that we can troubleshoot effectively. We’ll send you resources like articles, videos, or personalized instructions to help you solve problems and get back to work.
What Is Karma Black?
Karma Black is a mobile wifi hotspot specialized to provide privacy when surfing the Internet. It makes it possible for our customers to surf the web without being tracked by online vendors, regulators or others that might profit from knowing where you go and what you do on the web.
Why Do I Need A Karma Black?
The U.S. Congress recently passed, and the President signed, legislation rolling back previously existing protections designed to prevent the sale of individual user data. Now, online retailers, gaming, research and other sites are allowed to market information about your online habits to the highest bidder. It is a fundamental change in the privacy afforded those who surf the internet for fun, work and research.
How Does Karma Black Work?
Karma Black is functionally an internet identity invisibility cloak. They can’t track you and sell information about you unless they can represent who you are and where you are online. Karma Black provides privacy through a combination of encryption and multi-point routing services. These services vary from sophisticated multi-node domestic obfuscation to more complex multi-jurisdictional tunneling. The good news is, you don’t have to care about all of that. All you have to do is press one button (literally) and log into your Karma Black to start surfing “off grid”.
What Does It Cost?
Pricing for the device and associated services is being finalized and will be available soon.
Are There Monthly Charges?
There will be monthly charges for the Karma Black services. That pricing will be available soon.
Is It Easy To Use?
The Karma Black device has only one button. The rest of the experience is the familiar selection of a wifi network from your device and entering your Karma Black password to access the secure network. Thats it, no complex configuration or manuals to read. Easy, fast and private internet access… Karma Black style.
Where Can I Buy One?
Karma Black is planned for release in September. When it is available it can be purchased on our website (www.yourkarma.com) or online retailers such as Amazon and others.
Why should I buy a hotspot if I can use my phone?
When you use your phone for tethering, there are bandwidth restrictions and it drains your battery quickly. You’ll also be charged for expensive overage costs by many carriers.
