I assume you know that the U.S. makes no distinction between calling landlines or cell phones. That means that callers here don't pay any more to call a cell than a landline. That also means your friends/family can call you for a couple pence a minute, or even free on some services.
Using a cell here is much cheaper than the rest of the world.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your response. The reason I went for the Camel Wireless dual imsi card is because I want my friends, family and colleagues to be able to contact me cheaply. Since their sim card has a UK and US number they can call my UK number and I can receive it in the US for free, that's what really drew me to the deal. If I were to get a US sim card then this would not be possible.

I'm going to be going back and forth a lot and want people in both countries to be able to contact me no matter which country I'm in. If I kept swapping sims this would be a problem.

Camel Wireless' rates are just 20p (~30c) back to the UK and free to receive calls (which I believe is cheaper than a standard US sim) when called on the UK number.

Since I'm going to be travelling all over the US on business, coverage is really important, which I guess rules out the MetroPCS phone. Camel wireless say they operate on AT&T and T-Mobile, which is surely impossible to beat...?

That's strange.

There have been no commercial rates released for the dual sim, And the rates for the USA side have not been finalised.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
