New to forum. Q on UK/US SIM cards

Welcome

ekit is on the market at the moment. The others you list, plus easyroam and some more, are resellers of the same underlying product, so will presumably all have them arrive in stock at the same time; this looks fairly soon now but not quite for example this week.

Though one ID is active at a time, I think I understand that both numbers would be accept calls, so people could call either the US one, or the +44 UK/IoM one using other providers if you so choose. Or you could arrange a US landline DID forwarded to the UK number, in which case perhaps you don't necessarily need a dual ID - unless perhaps you also want to receive calls from here while you're in the USA.

I am intrigued by the DID forwarding but am a bit clueless on how to do it and what the costs would be. Where could I find the equivalent of "DID for Dummies"?
