I woud have to think that most folks in the US would not care about the area code assigned to an international sim, since they will be forwarding their local number (mobile, home, work, etc. ) to it. At least for me, I do not have a reason to give out the DID. So, any US number that works is fine.

Give the half life for roaming SIMs, I never give their number out and hide it behind a forward. Then again, I don't have to text through them which gives me a huge advantage.

Exactly! I do not care what the sms rate is, because I will not be using it for texting. Even for outgoing calls, with sims like Telna mobile, you can configure it to show any number you want as the caller ID. So, I just configure mine to show my AT&T mobile.

David I had use geosim in the past but some time ago their customer database seemed to have been hacked and customers received spam messages.

Since than geosim has not repsonded here anymore on qestion about this hack. This made them for me a company not to use anymore.

Also some time ago they suddenly switched to a fair use systems not specifying what the ration's are.

So other alternatives would be better to use.
