GSM prepaid

Truphone and Jajah are pure VoIP-serivces, which have nothing to do with GSM or mobile telephony and so won't provide a SIM card, allthough you may use these services from a handset.
However even those providers offering GSM services through a SIM card don't necessarily use conventional PSTN-technology. Especially for roaming a lot of international routing is performed over IP due to cost savings and so sometimes even circuit-switched GSM-technology may suffer from the weaknesses of the packet-switched Internet Protocol.
