They have the new Telna Mobile rates posted; a lot of the web pages say "Beta." Rates look very good for some countries but rather high for others (would rather use my Digicel sim in Bermuda or my ekit Simple Calling sim in the Cayman Islands for better rates). Still, depending on someone's itinerary, it could be a good value. Intriguing that the Telna sim will auto-select direct dial or call-back mode depending on carrier and country.

US rates are very reasonable at US$.05/minute incoming and US$.08/minute outgoing; primary US carrier is T-Mobile. Canada rates are rather high. Could be a good alternative for someone wanting a US postpaid sim card that can roam internationally without buying a huge bucket of minutes directly from a US carrier every month (whether or not they used them).

When I went through the sign-up form out of curiosity, it came up with a 3U Mobile pop-up message that I didn't sign up successfully (wasn't planning on buying at this time; but wanted to see the options presented). That's a German website under construction. I'm guessing 3U is the back-end provider for services outside North America.
