I finally had a chance to try out this simple calling usa sim card in the USA, it worked.
Calls are a bit pricey but texts are 15cents, however texts do not arrives to MTS customers, call do, Rogers texts and calls arrive fine.

That morning I left, I took out the 7-11 sim card from my Iphone 3GS, installed the Ekit sim card at home, put in the pin #, activated Canada / USA service off the Ekit web site, the phone hooked on the Rogers network, once i crossed the US border on the way to Grand Forks ND, the network switched to AT&T, the phone worked in Grand Forks, ND.

cheers - ken

I found the service quite good especially if you make sure your service is activated. No activity for a week or so can deactivate. Pricey???? It is .59 for the first minute but .09 for each additional with mine in the US and to Canada, so not too bad. Especially if you talk a few minutes. 10 minutes to Canada can be $1.40 which is a lot better than most prepaids I think.

I reactivated my SIMPLE CALLING sim card on 2012-02-06 the sim would not hook up to Rogers network, called ekit customer service, after a 25 min hold they had the usual bs answer, try Telus network, ok , but textmessages repeating them selves. Next day flew to Denver via Regina, only can hook up to Bell in regina but bell will not allow me to call out, says it's an overseas call. Landed in Denver, sim will not hook up to AT&T Finally tried the 2+pin and got

The 2+pin got me on At&t even though I was told to use 1+pin, got service but texts are $0.79 each, emailed Simple Calling & got more bs, bottom line is that Simple Calling is garbage.
