I agree, although there is also the sharp drop in travel over the past couple of years, partly due to money and partly due to the sheer hassle of air travel now.
Personally I would think twice about ever getting another international sim, having had some use from GT-sim, 09, 0044, UM etc and then lost a little money on all of them - I'm probably not alone there.
It's cheaper for me to have domestic sims for the main counties (eKit Simple Calling for US/Can, Telcel for Mexico). And roam on one of my two UK no-monthly-fee postpaids in the rare cases I have to make/receive a call elsewhere (then get a local sim, if the length of stay justifies it).
Better than leaving money in a "global" sim that most likely won't be active next time I need to use it!
