would be a good question to raise to their support...

As I think I have mentioned elsewhere, if they have US numbers, they will have to change their system a bit.

I doubt they will allow free incoming calls for the US numbers, given that in the US it is called party pays, not calling party pays.

They will probably charge 2c/min for incoming calls via a US number, as that's what Lycamobile US charges. If you receive calls via the UK number while in the US, it will no doubt be free.

I read on their Twitter that they will soon launch data bundles for all the 12 countries they are in. Don't know if it'll be a "unique" bundle or if we have to activate a bundle for each country we visit.

Yesterday they have also impliedly confirmed rumours by retweeting a link to this article, according to which toggle will very soon offer American local numbers (and hopefully IMSIs, too) as well as data bundles for all toggle countries.
I wonder if data bundles will be valid internationally or just for a single country as the British ones currently.

After the recent reduction of mobile termination rates in the UK (now just £0.0069/min) I wouldn't count on incoming calls to the British number to remain free of charge in the US.

And, I doubt they would charge calls to the US number at 2c/min for roaming in Europe or the other free incoming countries.

Inquisitor, as discussed earlier, may services charge higher fees for calls to Lyca, e.g., Localphone.

Do you know if the regulated termination rates that you refer to apply to VOIP and other services, or only to calls originating from mobile networks?

When it comes to UK mobile termination, rate caps only apply at the wholesale level. No regulation is in place at the retail level.

I understand that. But, a price differential at the retail level usually suggests that there is also a differential at the wholesale level.
