The only thing you don't get is voice calling back to the U.S. but you can get that for free from Google Voice.
Thanks - after looking some more I saw the Three UK One on Amazon after doing more research.... Where I was having problems at first was finding more than 14 days and wanting one that permits using my phone as a hot-spot but do see some now.
Last time I was looking was a few years ago and I seem to remember they were a LOT more than I am seeing now ...
Another question if anyone knows, when something says it cannot be used for a hotspot / tethering how do they control that? I have never used mine as a hot spot but want the option just in case, but if we really cannot no big deal.
thanks for your help!
