Yackie or Hop Mobile?...or another?

I think the general consensus here is that Hop is the most expensive of any of the intl. SIMS. Outgoing, at 95 cents is quite high. In fact, you can roam in many countries w. a U.S. T-Mobile or Cingular/att phone for 99 cents for outgoing.
When you factor in the cost of calling a Monaco mobile, incoming is about 50 cents - again higher than anybody else (intl. SIMS) in most places.

Just realized i forgot about the 20 cent surcharge on each outgoing call with Hop. A few weeks ago I posted here a complete rate comparison chart comparing UM, TravelSIM, and CelTrek. (Also included the U.S. carriers, which would not be of interest to a "foreigner")
CelTrek can provide a UK, French, or U.S. number for the same basic cost. Don't know about Italy.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year. Last edited by snidely; 13-04-2007 at 00:12..
