| Ready when you land | Yes — connects on arrival | Only after pick-up | Yes | After you find a counter |
| Keep your number | Yes | Yes | Yes | No — you swap out your SIM |
| Extra device to carry | No | Yes — a hotspot to charge | No | No |
| Typical cost | Low, prepaid up front | Daily rental, often a deposit | Usually the most expensive | Varies, often paid in cash |
