There was no notification or anything.

I called ekit customer service and was told that they can change the rates at any time.

It is crazy since they are still advertising the $0.10 per message on their website for the Passport Service. When I brought this up with customer service, she said that it was because my card was old that the rates were changed.

Any other options for a global SIM with a US number that can receive SMS?
Piranha Mobile use US/UK numbers and they do not charge for receiving SMS.
