Another update: ekit sent the new SIM out quickly via UPS. The new number has a 7937 prefix.

One problem I didn't realize: they blocked my old SIM as soon as they sent the new one, so I was stuck without a working SIM for a couple of days as the new one was in transit.

Luckily there was only one day left in my trip so I wasn't too inconvenienced.

However, ekit customer service didn't make any mention that the old SIM would be closed immediately. I had assumed it would have been working until the new one was activated.

So if you go this route, expect to not have service for a couple of days.
