Be sure you use the eBay seller ekitmobileusa for the SIMple card.
I have been using various ekit cards for over 3 years and their web interface and customer service is excellent.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I looked through ekitmobileusa's Ebay store, but don't see this particular one listed. SIMple Card yes, but SIMple Plus Card.

The Passport one includes $10 balance, so the SIM itself costs $10. Does the SIMplePlus Card also include $10 balance?

I've looked in their store, did some general searching, etc., but don't seem to find the EKit SIMple Plus Card anywhere on ebay. It's on EKit's website, but for $69 and it doesn't indicate how much balance that includes.

There are some differences in the pricing structure that may make one or the other more attractive than the other for different users.

The Passport card does not have a per call fee (or per minute fee) to receive calls in the US and Canada via the UK number, while the Simple Plus card has a 50¢ per incoming call fee while in the US.

I don't see it on Ebay either.

Used it in USA and UK, works fine but expensive. DOES NOT WORK IN SOUTH AMERICA, NO SERVICE, CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE REP WAS INCOMPENTENT. Use a diff service, these guys are awful.
