Just do not put too much money on these sim cards. May be just enough to get you through the next trip. Same here, I was burnt UM, Global Roaming, Yackie (they are still trying to come back since about a year...what a joke!). Consider these things disposable and just buy the best one for your current trip and use the thing up.
For example, for my trip to Jaimaca next week, I bought an Ekit Simple sim on Ebay, since they offer good rates there for incoming calls, which is the only thing I will use it for. I also have Telna mobile, if you do not use it, it will not cost you anything besides the $19/year fee.
You better read the Truphone TOS very well. I believe they have a monthly fee or may be it's a monthly non-use fee, in addition to the 90-day non-use fee. And Truphone is very expensive everywhere else besides US and UK.

I will think about Ekit and truphone, though I fear that they will be like restaurants that my wife and I like, not open long enough!
