I have a whole collection of (now dead) SIM cards from all over Europe (anybody remember Riiing from Lichtenstein

). The only one I kept alive is one from Fonic in Germany -- because that is were I travel the most. Otherwise I've been happy enough with even the throttled T-Mobile speeds -- though I always make sure I have a hotel with decent WiFi.
Riing....Liechtenstein country code 423...indelibly stamped in my memory bank. Problem was many ld carriers in the USA added ridiculously high surcharges to calls to country code 423 and of course calling out depended on call back.
