If you log onto your ekit account with the Passport Plus number it will have the instructions under 'My Service'.
'Getting started' shouod at least get your phone turned on. You shall find info for your other ekit SIM should be there also.

Let the troubled ekit SIM try overnight. Do you have the ability to manually choose networks? If you do, if you try overnight have it on 'automatic. Also, I would be cautious about sending any SIM that did not work in Canada with your parents.

The new Ekit passport sim in the Note II would not roam at all.
This was a South American cruise around the horn from Brazil to Los Angeles.

Why can't the LG be used in the future? [It Works!]. And the phone should work on the 'Rest of World' setting except in California.

But only in Canada. Send it on the trip. And the phone should work on the 'Rest of World' setting except in California.
Send as many SIMs as possible. Do teach the user how to swap SIMs if necessary.
