Are the dual SIM cards _currently_ available on eBay?

If so, there are a whole bunch of listings on ekitmobile and ekitmobileusa that will need updating to reflect this.

Thank you for all your prompt responses. It is most helpful.

You're right, currently only the single number SIMs are being sold via eBay. We are in the process of updating the information there so the dual number SIMs can also be purchased. This should be done shortly - withine one weeks time. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your questions. ekit reviews pricing quarterly and may make changes subject to wholesale telecommunication rate changes, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and also market conditions. Foreign exchange rates, as you will have seen in the financial markets in recent months, can fluctuate widely.

You are correct, you can receive calls and text messages on both the UK and US numbers world wide, regardless of the US service being active. The US service is required to be active for you to make outbound calls form the US and Canada. If the US service is not active you can still receive calls to this number.

Incoming calls to the UK number for the Dual IMSI Passport Service are free in 51 countries, including the majority of the EU (I would have to check if it covers all the EU). You are correct that a call to the US number incurs the normal incoming call fee plus 19c.

The SIM card is valid and credit does not expire provided you make at least one call or send one text once every nine months.

Would like to know then if US service is not active and I go to US how can I make calls from US and reactivate the service to be able to make calls.

You can activate the US service for outbound US calling by going to the ekit website, entering your account details and activating, or you can activate from your mobile by dialing the shortcode 870.

A call coming into my mobile phone (which has a US number) is forwarded to the US number and I am in the UK......what do I pay to receive the call in the UK?

(Inother words, if somebody calls the US +1 number, do I simply pay 19¢ to receive the call in the UK?)

A couple more questions. On my account online what features are available? Is a detailed list of calls made and received and its prices for both numbers available? Is voicemail retrievable on my account online? Is the connection fee applied in EU to receive free incoming call on UK number or on US number at 19c?
To listen to voicemail on the phone is free or is like a outbound call charge?

It looks like so from the post above. It says incoming on the US number incurs 19c plus whatever the incoming rate is in the country. So, since the UK is free incoming you pay just 19c. If it were another country that is NOT free incoming the cost will be 19c plus whatever the incoming rate is for that country.

Just speculating though, so we'll wait on JDEkit to clarify.

I have an EKIT (Telestial) Passport account now. They provide very good details of the SIM activity. I assume it will be the same with their Dual SIM.

They list calling history by month. Then each call is listed by date, the number called, minutes and amount charged.They also show a running account balance. Text messages are shown the same way. They also show a billing history.

Additionally, once you log in, you can recharge, change account setting, trigger a call back, and see a host of other services.
