What country is the incoming number? IOM, Estonia, Belgium? The rates don't set my world on fire. People like Ekit because it is dual IMSI, has a nice feature set, tech support which answers, the phone, and will loan you a US number as needed for free (but at a $0.19 a minute call connect surcharge). Lastly, it doesn't have particularly difficult minimum usage requirements.

Roam4Less has a high rates for the US and Canada. My polling of other fairs made them see about average. Everyone has free incoming texts, there number of free incoming countries is a little low, but not horrid.

I like roaming SIMs for short trips into countries, as a hold over until I can get a local SIM, and/or for countries that put hurdles in the way of buying a local SIM. If you do a single country international trip on an annual basis, you are probably better with a local SIM.
