*sigh* I saw this too late. And I am a little confused. Is it almost exactly the same as the Passport dual-sim but... better??? And for only $12 shipped? Why is the pricing so different? I just paid $34 for the Passport on Telestial =/

All the ekit SIMs on eBay are dual. They sell under the names ekitmobile and ekitmobileusa.

Each seller has different SIMs so check them both out and all out. [Both the sellers: all of the SIMs.]

Each seller has a different SIMple Calling [the flag one=USA] SIM card.

I believe this is the one and, it's $23 shipped not $12 as quoted above. Still a good price though, since it comes with $10 credit.

Well, that's the one i bought from Telestial for $34, so still certainly a better price. However, the USA SIMple cards ARE $12. They have a slightly different pricing structure in the US I think, but are very similar.

You want ekit's SIMple calling SIMs. There are two different ones on eBay. They have a usa flag in the picture. The US one is $9 +3 shipping=$12.

The UK ones are 10+1 UK Pounds. Check each's rates and features.

The US 'claims' to have a 50cent connection fee while in the USA. When I tried mine it was only 35 cents.

Voicemail in free to retrieve in the US and Canada.

Ah ha.......yup it does say that making or receiving calls in the USA include a 50¢ surcharge but here's what's unclear...

It says receiving calls say in the UK (or anywhere else in what they call zone 1 is free)...the question is does the call have to come in on the +44 number or is it free to receive in the UK if a call is made to the +1 number (it doesn't seem very clear) or do you pay the 9¢/minute to the +1 number with the 50¢ surcharge?

Don't you pay 19 cents a minute to receive calls on the +1 number whilst in Zone 1 when using the +44 number?

Just too much confusion regarding these Ekit sim cards. There has to be an easier way to clarify which is which and what the rates are.
