Ekit's US SIMple Calling Plus Service no longer does Canada

[fsotirop]

I never trusted ekit, most of their international simcards have very high rates.

Ekit US+Canada (one I've had for years) worked OK for an outbound call today in British Columbia, using Telus 3G. Call was billed and listed on the billing record as being made from the US, not Canada.

The online account still lists rates for Canada, so it doesn't seem to have been officially withdrawn (yet!).

It no longer registers on Rogers 3G (like it did 6 weeks ago), and as before no longer registers on anything on 2G. Clearly it's on the way out, so I'll be using up the balance when I can. T-Mobile US is the better option for a prepaid sim that covers both countries (plus others).

Well, here goes, I have 6 ekit SIMple Calling SIMs of various vintages from both the US and UK ebay sellers.

I have one each of the original US/Canada only from US & UK.
They both still show the Canada information.

I have 3 [2 US & 1 UK] of their dual phone number SIM that do the whole world. These 3 no longer show Canadian rates with the US rates. The Canadian rates are still the same as before, though.

The last and most recent SIM is one I bought in April. It now shows as US only. When I bought it it showed it did Canada also on 3G--this was mentioned in more than one thread here.
