ekit dual number [US & UK] SIMs - Page 14

*sigh* I saw this too late. And I am a little confused. Is it almost exactly the same as the Passport dual-sim but... better??? And for only $12 shipped? Why is the pricing so different? I just paid $34 for the Passport on Telestial =/

Haven't found the ekit dual sim on ebay as of yet...have I missed it somehow?

Just search for ekit and the ones called US SIMple are dual-sim.

All the ekit SIMs on eBay are dual. They sell under the names ekitmobile and ekitmobileusa.

Each seller has different SIMs so check them both out and all out. [Both the sellers: all of the SIMs.]

Each seller has a different SIMple Calling [the flag one=USA] SIM card.

I believe this is the one and, it's $23 shipped not $12 as quoted above. Still a good price though, since it comes with $10 credit.

Well, that's the one i bought from Telestial for $34, so still certainly a better price. However, the USA SIMple cards ARE $12. They have a slightly different pricing structure in the US I think, but are very similar.

You want ekit's SIMple calling SIMs. There are two different ones on eBay. They have a usa flag in the picture. The US one is $9 +3 shipping=$12.

The UK ones are 10+1 UK Pounds. Check each's rates and features.

The US 'claims' to have a 50cent connection fee while in the USA. When I tried mine it was only 35 cents.

Ah ha.......yup it does say that making or receiving calls in the USA include a 50¢ surcharge but here's what's unclear...

It says receiving calls say in the UK (or anywhere else in what they call zone 1 is free)...the question is does the call have to come in on the +44 number or is it free to receive in the UK if a call is made to the +1 number (it doesn't seem very clear) or do you pay the 9¢/minute to the +1 number with the 50¢ surcharge?

Don't you pay 19 cents a minute to receive calls on the +1 number whilst in Zone 1 when using the +44 number?

Just too much confusion regarding these Ekit sim cards. There has to be an easier way to clarify which is which and what the rates are.
