OK guys, thanks to your help I was able to get the right ad for e-kit on e-bay. I think their rates are outrageous, and I wonder how come bbob was not paying attention to it. The initial kit is cheap indeed, only $9, but they are going to eat you alive on air time and connection fees.

Let’s see a 10 minutes call on e-kit from UK to a mobile number in France, or any other country in Europe. After all, we are buying the phone to travel overseas, aren’t we? So 10 minutes at $0.84, will cost me $8.40. Now let’s read the fine lines… On each call send or received they are charging me additional $0.35 connection fee, and hey, lets not forget the $0.19 surcharge per minute on a call on your US number. So this little call ended up to be $8.75 if you used the +44 number and $10.65 if you used your US number (why would I do that?). Same call on SimCardGlobal.com Cheap International dual SIM cards and global roaming, will cost you only $5.20 or 40% less! The difference in the initial pricing is going to evaporate in a week.

A10 minutes incoming call received in Russia will cost $18.75 on e-kit and ZERO on SimCardGlobal. Who is buying this crap from e-kit?

e-kit are charging 10 cents on each SMS received, which no other company in the business is doing. And as I mentioned, they are charging 19 cents per minute on any call received on the US number. And how about e-kit airtime credit expires after 30 days while most the others never expires their credit!

I checked other sites like MobilityPass local and International roaming Internet Access provider, WiFi hotspot, 3G, Toll Free, Dial-up, Broadband, wireless and mobile internet. or OneSimCard - Prepaid International SIM Card and World Cell Phones, and they are all beating e-kit to death. Mobilitypass, according to another post I saw here, require you to always have at least $25 airtime credit on your account, and in a month you made calls under $5, they charge you $5 anyhow… pretty dirty tricks. I didn’t saw this with SimCardGlobal, and I think their rates are very competitive.

Bottom line – buy e-kit and you are doing the mistake of your life. You get it cheap to begin with, but you ended up paying more, much more, much, much more.
