I have the New EKIT Dual phone number Passport SIM. I also have Verizon wireless. You are correct that if you pay an extra $3.99 a month to Verizon, you can call a cell phone in most countries for 17 cents. With the EKIT SIM calls to the U.S. number costs me 19 cents to a receive a call. In your case, it may cost family 2 cents per minute. But with the EKIT SIM, anyone from any phone can call you on the U.S. number and it will cost 19 cents.
When friends call me on the U.S. number, the call goes straight through like a regular call. No callback issues. And while I am in most countries in Europe, if other associates call me on the UK number, my incoming calls are free.
Lastly, I like EKIT's Service life. Basically, you must make one charged service, (like a call or text message) every 9 months. And you must do one recharge at least every 15 months. You can also recharge through their web site or over the cell phone. This has been a real convenience for me.
