Good guess, Stu I hadn't noticed. They sure have a LOT of countries, tho, that others don't have. They seem to have virtually every Latin America country, Nz (which UM didn't have - at least last year) Also seem to cover virtually all of Africa.
They do have Jordan, Egypt and Morocco - all arab countries that recognize Israel. And they have Mexico, which I think some of the others didn't/don't have. That could be a big seller for Yackie for U.S. customers. They charge 24? for incoming - less than the 79? i believe Cingular charges and much less than the $1.49 that T-Mobile charges. (Even my grandfathered T-M rates are about $1 as i recall.)
An aside, prepaid in Mexico seems to be more expensive than roaming via Cingular last time i checked!
Stu - As i recall, you also had/have T-Mobiles old rates of 29? for incoming in many countries, including Israel.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
