Dual SIM card by SimCardGlobal.com - why do I need dual SIM

Well, I have to say the people I know are not quite like this. I don’t fill comfortable calling someone, especially on a business trip, and tell him “hey, I want to save some money, please call me back”… I also want the people that usually call me, to know my number, and to know it is always the same, wherever I am. Therefore, carrying 5-6 different SIM cards is not an option. I truly believe the “Isle of Man” concept, as you call it, is the better one.

What I don’t like in e-kit concept, is the fact, in my humble opinion, they are misleading people. A US tourist is going for 3 weeks to Europe and is looking for a good solution to carry one phone, be in touch with his family, and making some local calls. With e-kit, he see $9 card, and he is taking it, as one of the post above says “you can’t be wrong”. But after a week, all these extra surcharges added up, and he is already paying more than he planned. I am not talking about exotic places around the world. Russia, Indonesia (Bali), Argentine, China, Philippines, Ukraine, Peru, Thailand, they are all at $1.84. And the cream, India at $4.04… You know what? At least 5 Billion people are living in these “e-kit expensive” countries.

So to claim e-kit is the ultimate solution, while there are 100 companies over there with overall much cheaper solution is pure misleading, IMHO.
