They also have a free 800 number in the US so friends can call you for free and you pay an extra 39 cents.
I too have a Telestial SIM, and when I was in Europe in December (river cruise in Switizerland, France, and Germany) my SIM did not work at all. I have a quad band mobile but no matter where I was I got 'No Service'. Fortunately I was in Germany most of the time and had an E-Plus SIM which worked brilliantly, but rest of the time I was stuck roaming on my US t-mobile account which ended up costing me over $200, so I am very leary of depending on Telestial again.
