It is not clear to me that the 50 cents has anything to do with activation--just holding onto the USA phone number if it is inactive for more than 4 months.
ekit says:
"* You can retain your US number indefinitely by paying 50c per month by signing into your account online, clicking on "Account Details" under "My account", and then clicking on the option to extend the life of the US number (otherwise after 4 months of inactivity your US number may be changed when you go to use it again; you will receive the new US number via text message). "

I have not had a phone number change on me. I have 3 dual IMSI ekit SIMs and two SIMple Calling usa phone number only SIMs.

Has anyone here lost a US phone number on an ekit SIM?

Also, the unactivation/hibernation of the US number seems to be flaky at times, that is not '7' days but sumetime after 7 days.
