Got my card today (August 1st). Was sent regular airmail on July 28th, and got here quickly. All the address information was there, even though the zip code and street number were out of order for a US address label.

Activated it with the PUK code online, transferred over my entire old balance, and sent a test text message on AT&T/Cingular USA to the UK. Got a successful SMS reply from the UK and a balance notification message with a 364 day expiration date. This will give me a larger number of calling minutes for an upcoming trip to the UK than I would have had with my old United Mobile card. Plus the new card doesn't have SMS problems in the US like the old one did.

Looking forward to the data service in the fourth quarter. Will be one of the very few international prepaid cards that offer data. Would like to try this when offered because data on a cellphone can be used in many more places than wi-fi can be used.

"She who must be obeyed" sounds like the barrister's knickname for his wife in the Rumpole of the Bailey series that used to be on British television.

Free is a good price for this upgrade. Would probably not have considered upgrading without this offer because the cost of the card and shipping would have negated the call savings per minute for me.
