Here are some things I learned about prepaid SIM cards when riding a cruise ship.
AT&T and T-Mobile prepaid does not work.
Tru[phone] worked, but since I did not know the rates, all I did was receive SMSes testing it.
Ekit worked and charged as described.
I also have an SMS only Philippine SIM card called SMART Buddy that worked on the cruise ship.
All three SIMs had free SMS receive.

I wanted to burn up some balance on the ekit card I had [received $20 credit for a mix up when I got it]. Did 14 79cent SMSes and a 2 minute call @$4.49 a minute. SMSes are really the way to go if possible.
