Changes to eKit's SIMple Calling SIM card plan

Does that mean that the current card will no longer work globally? I just used mine in Nigeria last week, for about 2 weeks.

I don't think so. I still have two original SIMple Calling SIMs that are US only.
Also 3 dual IMSI SIMple Calling SIMs. Nothing seems to have changed with them. Wish I could get the 39cent rather than 50cent connection charge, though.

It seems that eBay seller ekitmobileusa is tweaking the prices on ebay for the various items they are selling. Mostly raising them four or five dollars. The prices on the phone + SIM combos have not all changed, though.

This is now their only future offering for US & Canada use:
[US & Canada only]

Yes the connection fee is now 39cents.
We have this Sim card listed as North America for use in Canada and US only
because it is our New US and Canada Sim which provides lower call rates per
minute and also Data usage in the US and Canada.

On ekit's UK ebay seller ekitmobile, they still have the SIM they were previous selling
but on ekit.com there does not currently show any such SIM for 'North America'.


Also, I have ordered one of the new SIM [with a dual band phone] on ebay and will report later about it
in the Americas section.

This seemed to be the best international thread to make people aware of this.

I just purchased on ebay a US SIMple Calling Plus Service SIM card.
When I went online to activate the US number [the UK number is already active] I happened to look at recharge and they offered among others a $10 bonus if you recharged $10. I have never seen this before and after you use it it is gone. I do not know how long it lasts if unused. Not many chances to double your money these days. Under billing it referred to the bonus as a Refcode Bonus. I did not knowingly do anything to get it.

So if you get an ekit SIM card, make sure you check to see if such a bonus exists. If it is an international SIM card and the bonus exists, could you mention it here? thanks

I got the SIM card because it is for the USA, Canada and Mexico. [The SIM at the top of this thread was just US & Canada.]

With prices at $0.58 to make or receive call (first min 9 cents thereafter) and Data at $1.99 per MB, you will need it
