CelTrek - a new int'l SIM

CelTrek appears to be a Yackie-like offering, based on a SIM from Israel with a US phone number. This means that it has the same problems roaming in countries that don't do business with Israel. Otherwise, I'm going to wait until I get a chance to use more of their features and read the detailed instructions before making any comments or recommendations. I can say that it worked everywhere they said it would work. They also have highly variable rates. It's very hard to have a "band 1", "band 2" description when every country seems to have different rates for incoming and outgoing calls or SMS.

I was invited to beta test (really it was a pre-beta) their SIM before their website came up. The test was supposed to be until Jan 7th and I wasn't supposed to say anything but was never told exactly what the non-disclosure restriction were. Since their website is now up and operating, don't think I'm violating any agreement by telling you about the product.
