My Iceland based Yackie sim card still works. Hadn't used it in just under 6 months, and just sent 2 text messages from the US to the UK, and got a response to one of them. Odd thing is that the balance from the handset says $0, but the Yackie Mobile site said US$45, which decreased by about a dollar after I sent the two text messages. If my sim still works next May, will likely use from Bermuda to the US to use up some of the remaining balance on the card I am carrying (even though it will be at US$1.69/minute), and then switch to my lesser cost Digicel Bermuda card. To be fair, the Yackie rates were very good in other destinations in the Caribbean I used the card in; just Bermuda and a handful of other destinations are not as good a value.
