The US one comes with a US number.
The UK one lets you pay £5.00 per month for a US number.

Thanks for the links, I checked the rates and was astonished. I mean, never seen rates so high. It is absolutely prohibitive. Am I wrong?

Truphone is good if you will be using it in one of their home countries (US, UK, etc.). Otherwise, I do not think any other international sim has such a long expiry date like Piranha. I just checked my very old truphone sim and it still works with my credit intact. I have not used it in at least 2 years. Piranha works very well for me. I have no need for their SMS functionality. I just us it to be reachable on a US number if I am in a country where I do not have a local number, and to forward to my local sim.

Truphone has always been a little high, but I think for many countries they are ok except for data.
