note that Tru is only giving the lower rates to EU residents, not those with primary residence in US or Australia. (I posted this on the Europe thread of the forum). I think Tru is the only international sim card to discriminate like this, a real pain. Don't think they would make it easy for me to switch the sim to be UK-primary, either!

In order for you to switch the SIM to be UK-primary, Tru would require your payment information to be based in the UK. A little workaround I discovered. If you have any friends in the UK who would be willing to loan you their payment information (or somehow obtain a UK prepaid credit card attached to a UK address), you would be able to change your SIM information to be UK primary and take advantage of the lower rates.

It's not easy, it's inconvenient, but it does work.
