The eConnect SIM is good for 30 days while the b-mobile SIM is only good for 14 days.

Not a big deal if you're there for less than 2 weeks, but sucks if you're there for just over 2 weeks.

I was there for just over 15 days. I either could buy 2 a b-mobile SIM and re-up for another $40 or buy one eConnect SIM. Guess which I chose?
