Yeah, I saw it too, it really seems a IOM rebrand; it often appears on our Google Adsense ads...

Just spotted this on their FAQ's:

Quote:

How long does your credit last?
There is no expiry date on the SIM card or any credit you add to it.

hmmm....???

I spoke with them (and subsequently ordered one.) I asked why, for example, Mexico incoming is free, and on all other Manx SIMs, it costs. He told me that their business model is different than the others, and, although they pay a small termination fee for Mexico, they disburse costs over their whole network, and not target one particular country, so, they can offer overall better pricing, and absorb smaller term fees to allow it to be free... We'll see. I'll try it, and see. They do have 07624 numbers.

It's also free incoming on ekit IOM sims (07924 though). I've just been using them in Mexico for the past few days - enlinea callback to an ipkall.com number pointed to a sip address at voipcheap.com forwarded to the 07924 ekit phone - 5c + 10.4c (8 eurocents) = 15.4c/min outbound from MX to US. Long round-trip delay, but good quality otherwise.

From today Mexico is no more in the free incoming list of Ekit international sim....

Where did you read that? The new rates effective from 1 March 2007 still show Mexico as free incoming (for the Global Premium Service, Zone 4a).

I was talking about the ekit international sim (check my initial post).

It was free until yesterday for the international sim and from today it is not.

This sounds like a very intriguing offer with no expiration date, no set-up fees, and relatively decent rates. The only bad thing is that neither the rates or the sim card price itself reflect the VAT of 17.5%, but since most cards charge VAT, it's not that big of a deal, and still doesn't make the rates terribly high.

Another oddity in T+C - obviously not wanting you to use it as receive only...

MeSIM™ SIM card rates and tariffs assume fair usage of the Services by you. This includes, but is not limited to maintaining a ratio of outbound tariffable calls to inbound calls of more than 20% on your account. In the event of fair usage not being sustained, the Supplier reserves the right to review the rates and tariffs applied to your account or to terminate the Services and in this event, such termination shall be deemed to have been made by you.
