EKIT and their U.S. number Service Life

Bossman...you hit my "problem". My landline doesn't time calls within NYC so I can forward a call to a NYC area code and only pay 9¢ or whatever it costs for as long as I talk...any other area code costs more (I don't have a national ld plan on my landline, don't need it). So what I have to do is forward to my mobile and then forward from the mobile to e-kit.....I don't there's any deterioratin of the calls due to the double hand off so I suppose it's no big deal but 1 fewer step might be a tad more convenient.

I have used my Google Voice account to forward calls to my U.S. number on the EKIT SIM. In fact that's how I learned I lost my first EKIT U.S. number.

I got a message from Google telling me that my EKIT phone number had been re-assigned to someone else. Upon researching this with EKIT, that's how I learned about the 4 month rule.
