My only point is that the combination of a 10 month expiration period and a $25 minimum recharge amount means that, as a practical matter, someone who is not traveling all the time will leave money on the table. It's hard to finish a trip without leaving a substantial balance in the account, and if you don't need to replenish that amount for a while, you will lose it.

Sorry- was not intending to sound facetious, just attempting to clarify your point. Yes, if like you, someone rarely travels overseas and, when they do they only use their cell phone for emergencies, then they are probably better off just using their domestic carrier and paying their rates. There's no need to go through the process of buying a global SIM (or even a local SIM) and worrying about balance expiration just to save a dollar or two on a few phone calls. Most customers though easily spend $25 on calls during a single trip (that's about 60 minutes of outgoing calls from Greece or South Korea, for example).
You would want to compare our rates to your other available options, estimate how many calls you would make and receive on your trip, and calculate your projected savings to determine whether it's worth it for you.
