Where do I turn for international sim card

Hi...

We conferred on a forum regarding cruises. As a reasonable alternative, at least on the receiving end, go to ebay and look up e-kitg simple card (they have two on ebay, I prefer the simple one)....it costs $9 with $3 shipping but come with $10 credit.

While obviously nobody really knows, e-kit has been around for a while. Their current sims give you 2 numbers, a USA (+1) number and a UK (+44) number. You enter the pin code with a 2 to indicate you are in North America and with a 1 to indicate you are outside North America.

You get lots of countries for free, including the usual European countries and I believe Australia too as far as reception is concerned if the call comes in on the +44 number. If the call comes in on the +1 number, you pay 19¢/minute to receive the call if you're in free roaming turf. Calls cost 49¢/minute to landlines throughout and an additional surcharge for calls to mobile (not to US and Canadian mobiles as usual) and all calls carry a 35¢ set up fee....you can dig up lots of other information on ebay.

You can give it a whirl. After all for $12, how bad can it be?
