rfranzq · **Two different plans of SIMple Calling SIMS -** 22-04-2009, 05:30

I have had the two different SIM with different plans for about 6 months now. On eBay, ekit has two different seller names: ekitmobile and ekitmobileusa. Guess which one is based in the UK? They have different prices on similar and the same SIMs so shop around. The information on eBay is accurate for each of the SIMple Calling SIMs.

The one from the UK has the $.25 US call rate with no connection charge. It also has higher SMS rates. The area code I received for it is 213--downtown LA.

The other SIM from the USA is area code 323--the doughnut around downtown LA. Its rate is 9cents +50cent connection fee. The SMS rates are less.

They both are able to use AT&T and T-Mobile networks. I have not really been out of LA and Orange counties with them so I can not allege their usefulness in the hinterlands.

I will be lending one to my mother to use on an Alaskan cruise [Calif to Alaska with stops in Canada.]

{I might have been able to use one or both of them to send SMS while in Mexico last December--but the details are too fuzzy so remember I said 'MIGHT']
