I am not sure how strict they are about the '7 days' because my use of these cards is pretty sporadic.

Just happened to me about 2 days ago too. Logged in to the site & re-activated and it now seems to work fine. I wonder why it needs activation anyway. All the other eKit SIMs never needed this activity.

I'm now getting a chance to use my eKit "Simple Calling" US/Canada sim on a road trip and the coverage is excellent - better than they state.

It's supposed to use both T-Mobile and AT&T - which it does, but it also roams on the roaming partners of at least one of them (maybe T-mobile).

Last week I was in Ely, Nevada (zip code 89301), more than 100 miles from ANY native AT&T or T-mobile coverage, and the eKit sim connected (showing "roaming") - which was handy, as I had to make a call! The call cost the same as if I wasn't roaming.

My 7-11 Speakout (AT&T) couldn't find anything in the area (even though AT&T shows some roaming coverage).
