And they also have a fair usage requirement. Do companies with a fair usage policy have an exact ratio that some computer monitors? Is 50/50 considered fair? What about 70/30? Or ??

"15.2 Fair Usage. The usage of the SIMcard and any of its calling systems is expected to be a fair balance between free incoming calls, chargeable incoming calls and chargeable outgoing calls. Excessive volume or duration of only free incoming calls or free call forwarding, determined at Geodesa's discretion, acting reasonably, will constitute abuse."
looks like more and more companies are hidding this in their terms whilst it should be mentioned as part of the service.

I see that travelsim.co.uk has updated their terms also using this fair use where you are left at their mercy if they want to cut you off.
I would really like to know what the limit is, do you give a warning or do you cutoff someone whenever you lie or give then a change to improve.
What is the timegframe this usage is measured on 1 3 6 12 month time /

Just looked at ekits website and don't see those fair use terms. They are also offering dual sim so maybe they are the answer to these terms.
on ebay.co.uk you can get a sim card four 10 pounds having 5 pounds credit, also being used in the us.
on ebay.com you can get one for $20 having $10 credit, seem like a good deal and lower price than above offer.

On travelsim website I noticed a $1.5 per month charge to keep the us number active.

I will order one soon for ekit
