As a reminder AT&T prepaid 'GoPhone' has 25cents a minute rates from Mexico [and 25cent SMS send/20cents receive]. That SIM would only work in Mexico so YMWV.

I am quite pleased with my Tru SIMs. If the rates are OK with you and it works where you are going that is great. Makes a good secondary US SIM also. About 10 months ago I was on a Mexico cruise and was able to receive SMS on the ship at sea with my Tru SIM. [free rreceive]. I was too cheap to test what its per minute call rates and SMS send rates were. You could test them!
