Stu:

You are right. It's very hard to check the financial status of any company. Just because a company has a great web site, you never really know. But it seems to me that if a company sells a SIM with extra low rates, has no connection fees, no annual fees, a SIM that lasts forever, and limited customer service; their business model is suspect.

Obviously no company is guaranteed to last forever. I lost about $25 recently to a company with a pre-paid calling card system with cheap international calls from the U.S. So I guess it's best to just limit your exposure in case of a failure.
