Dubai and Detroit are "sister cities." I didn't know how true it was.

Now that you mention TruPhone... I have long been wondering why they are not forming a nice package of their VoIP service and their international SIM (Sim4Travel).


As for UMA: thanks for the ideas everybody. Well, for me there is indeed no point in buying a US T-Mobile SIM & phone, apart from experimentation.

During my last trip, 10 days in Japan a couple of months ago, I did the Skype thing. It was great -- but only when I had a good Internet connection, obviously. That was maybe 20% of the time at best. Yes, I could have had it more if I was willing to pay for it, perhaps up to 40% of the time. But mostly I relied on my int'l roaming SIMs (Celtrek and ekit, UM+ was dead).

So Skype/VOIP is a good, even great thing, but its not ready to supplant int't roaming SIMs yet in my view...
