The trade in offer sounds very good. Big thing for me is that they will offer data service in the 4th quarter plus I can save 10 eurocents a minute for calls home to the US when I go for an aviation museum trip to the UK in mid-September. I usually just do United Mobile direct dial rather than using CBW because just a few calls home when on vacation and I still save a bundle over the roaming costs T-Mobile or AT&T would charge if I were on a postpaid plan.

Only negative I can see for me is some, but not all(some are Zone 1), Caribbean countries are more expensive. I am likely getting a Digicel card in advance of travel to Grand Cayman, Grenada, and Union Island, St. Vincent, so this will take care of that problem (Digicel prepaid sims do allow roaming on other islands with Digicel coverage).

Will still use local sims for US (an AT&T MVNO called Beyond Wireless GSM) and Canada (Fido) because these beat both the new and old United Mobile cards on price plus I get needed local numbers for Hartford and Toronto.
