Exciting times are happening with prepaid international SIM cards, what with everyone seems to be coming out with dual phone number ones. I can count 7 different ekit SIMs that have dual numbers available now. I will mention 3 that I am not going to now deal with. [When I say US or UK in describing the cards I am implying you can find it on eBay with that countries respective ekit seller or if you go to the ekit's website and search for SIMs to be delivered to the US or UK you will find that card.] Global Premium Service is a 'US' card that has US rates the same as european rates. Home & Roam Service is a UK card that has special moderate UK rates ['Home"] and fair european and North American rates. Finally, Passport Plus Service is the premium ekit card. Not available on eBay. Higher initial costs, but lower per minute costs than any other ekit cards.

The next cards are in pairs. The SIMple calling cards are now dual phone numbered with international roaming. The SIMple calling rates are basically the same as formerly [except the connection charge on the 'US' one is now 35cents intead of 50cents]. The 'US' SIMple calling card is available from the US ekit seller on eBay. Unfortunately I can not link to eat as the only info I have on it is when I sign into my ekit account and look at 'My Service' and see its rates. The eBay listings at this time do not show the international details. The international rates are the same as Passport Service . The advantage of the SIMple card is that the US and Canada rates are lower than the Passport rates.

The other SIMple Calling card [available from the UK ebay seller for instance], SIMple Calling Service has the 25cent per minute rate for US calls. The international rates are from Global Travel Service . It is a 'UK' card that has an EU rate and a higher rate for the US and Canada. The advatage here is once again the SIMple card's US and Canada rates are once again much better than the Global Travel Service rates.

Of course, one will need to look over the various offers available. But, the SIMple Calling Service SIM cards seem to be better for those that will be using them in North America.
