Telna vs. Worldsim vs other

[Bossman]

I have a Telna sim as well. I used it last year in Europe and Africa without any problems. You do not get charged besides ther $19/year fee and whatever you use. You may want to checkout the Telna thread for more specific info. It's good to have more than 1 sim though. And just use the one appropriate for your needs in the country you are visiting. Also, there is no 100% guarantee that a sim will work in a country listed on their website. So, good to have backup. My plan was to use my Telna when I go to Jamaica for a week on Sat. However, when I saw Ekit's rate in Jaimaca at $0.19 vs Telna at $0.39 for incoming calls, I got an Ekit sim on Ebay to use, and just use Telna for backup and outgoing calls.

Used Global Roaming/celtrek for the last year no major complaints other than I have three cards worth . . .

Telna seems like the best overall bet for me right now as Worldsim wants a fortune to issue the card and mail it. I sort of like the dual number stuff, but Telna is supposedly direct dial and my clients are going to be more comfortable with that.

Any user comments? Please.
