ekit dual number [US & UK] SIMs

[ronwi]

Based on the remaining balance after I answered the call ($9.56), it appears I was charged 44 cents for the incoming call. Not quite sure how that was computed - e.g., the ebay page says there is a 50 cent charge for all calls sent or received, I obviously wasn't charged that. I have a SIMple calling SIM, the one that sells for $12 (incl. shipping) on ebay.

Look at the cost for incoming calls in zone 5 for the type of SIM you have (rates range from $3.29 to $3.99). The best way to make sure you are looking at the right info is to log-in to your SIM account at ekit.com first.

I find the four different rate plans confusing. I decided that the Passport service was the best for my needs (due to free incoming in the US and Canada on calls made to Uk number).
