Watch out: ekit changed Passport Service rates in the middle of the night

Upgraded my old ekit Simple Calling sim card to the new Telestial (ekit yellow) sim card after they sent me an email offering to upgrade the sim and give me a $5 credit (had spent it down to under US$1 after they tripled their non-US Caribbean rates on their old card). Arrived in the mail today but I'm currently in the USVI, so it will sit until I get home this weekend. Intriguing thing on the new card is that it is US/Can/Mex for direct dial on the US number, but I wish they would kill off the US$.49 connect charge.

Think Telna and country dedicated prepaid sims will be primary. The ekit sim will be secondary. If all else fails VOIP or Iridium.
