I am curious what type of phone you were using. I had ring back problems a year ago on one of my phones. I took 2 phones with me then. Seems on one phone I had to send a text message to get a ring back. The trick is to send an SMS with just the phone number you want to call in it to 1234. No charge for the SMS. The SIM worked fine in my other phone.

My main phone/PDA is an iMate K-Jam which has been solid for almost 5 yrs now. Ring backs have worked in the past on other SIMs, including most recently Yackie.
The eKit in USA mode (while in the USA) worked fine before leaving. I had also tried the eKit SIM on my wife's Nokia while abroad with similar results.

Unfortunately I had to make several calls in a jam (non-casual) and thus had to resort to my T-Mo USA SIM...waiting to pour myself a stiff drink before I look at the billings (although I'm on the grandfathered [pre-worldclass] and may not be so bad off)...
