In fact, ekit provides two kinds of Manx sims
Global Premium:

and International:
http://www.ekit.com/ekit/MobilePurch...ice_ckregional

Please note new prices valid since 1st Oct for the two above plans :P

Moreover, both SIMs are not so global from the point of view of a potential customer , Ekit SIMs are shipped only to USA, Canada, Australia and 12 EU countries.
Maxsim SIMs are slightly better in that aspect - they are shipped to the entire EU, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, many countries in America, some in Asia, South Africa, Australia and N. Zealand.
Please don't tell me that most potential customers live in the countries mentioned above - for me "global" means also "global shipping destinations"

Yes, all the "Manx" SIMs should roam in exactly the same countries, but it doesn't have to mean that this list is identical with the roaming list of Manx Telecom. In particular, soes the callback used by those SIMs work in 3G networks (Japan!)?
