Country coverage is determined by the roaming agreements in place between the telecommunication providers. This continues to change and grow as more roaming agreements are establsihed between telco providers. You are correct that ekit services currently have coverage in 130 countries.

I haven't seen a dual SIM card with coverage in over 200 countries. I have seen several organisations announce dual SIM card offerings in the press, however, I haven't seen another provider that is selling and operating a dual number service today.

Happy to help if you have any more questions.
Thanks for clarifying the issue of the rates. I think telestial rate page needs updating on this.
In regard to other providers, they claim they will be offering the sim in a few months time.
The issue is that since you both appear to use Manx telecom it is strange that they will claim coverage in 70 countries more....
