ekit dual number [US & UK] SIMs

[rfranzq]

Since these new Dual SIM cards are going to be out in less than a month {if we can trust the various vendors}: I hereby start a thread to discuss various issues with them!

Question 1: What area code did you get? Did you have a choice? This is actually a major curiosity for me.


Question 2: Does the US service stay activated? And does the number change?

According to this from the Telestial site:
"Please note:Your United States Service is automatically deactivated 7 days after your last call or text message; however the remaining credit is not expired until 9 months after your last call or text message. To reactivate your United States Service, simply follow the initial activation instructions.
Your US number may change if you do not:
Activate your SIM card within 1 month of purchase
Use a charged service within 1 month of the initial activation
Purchase additional calling credit within 2 months of initial activation (if you haven't already done so at the time of purchase)" Interesting.

Question 3: Can you accidentily [or purposefully for that matter] make the phone think you should be charged as if your UK number is in the US?

Also from the Telestial site: "In the United States and Canada, you must activate your US service prior to making a call, and enter 2 followed by the PIN when turning your phone on. Failure to follow these steps will result in you being charged rates applicable to Zone 4."

Well then, here are some preliminary issues that I am sure users will want to be aware of and avoid when neccessary. Good luck to you bleeding edge folks!
