After trying to order the SIM online, to be delivered to my hotel in San Diego, and having no success (their website claimed problems with my CC) I contacted Support

Over two or three days, we went through a ballet of "try this" or "try that" to no avail

They finally stated that "Note: If the credit card that you have right now will not work in purchasing a SIM card online, you need to use the United States issued"

So that counts me out.

Why couldn't they say that from the beginning and save me all that hassle?
