ekit dual number [US & UK] SIMs

[JDekit]

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.
