Thanks for all the responses! I keep hearing mixed opinions on the reliability of Travelsim, is it that calls are just bad quality? or will calls not connect at all?

Also I have read that texting prices in the EU were just capped at €0,11 per text no matter where you are (in the EU). Is this true? Travelsim shows the updated price but most other places I look still have significantly higher texting prices. Does anyone know a little more about this? Thanks

In the most EU countries texts cost 11 cents, it's an interesting price above all the Eurotariff. In which country will you go?

Both--but it was the failures to connect that drove me away.

My advice, do not depend 100% on this +372 number for receiving calls from the USA. Just too unreliable to reach that number from here.

My feeling is that many U.S. long distance carriers blocked calling to +423 and +372 (United Mobile and TravelSim) numbers was because costs were MUCH MORE expensive than calling regular numbers - and that customers complained about the "outrageous" charges. I know carriers blocked calls to UM numbers. I assume some do the same to TravelSim numbers.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
