USA: Best options for multiple trips?

[petkow]

Thanks guys. You're right...It is a fairly good deal ... but unfortunately still a $100 outlay to get a years validity after the SIM purchase!! Any other options?

There are many great things on that T-Mobile 'gold rewards' like the 15% bonus! I especially like the $10 extension... I hadn't realised that. Also hadn't realised the 10c international SMS. Wow! That's 4.7p or 6.8 euro cents!! Brilliant..that isn't even close to anything we can do here. Do you guys think that will stay, or will it eventually go up?

Thanks once again.

Just use the SIM. If you must top up, then do so with a reasonable amount for you. Say $25. If you top up 4 times with $25 each, you reach the gold rewards. TRUE, the first $100 is then NOT 10 cents per minute. There are also $50 refills and 2 $50s will give you gold rewards. You seem to travel often so that should be not problem to extend the validity with a small refill.
