I am still testing Roamless on my current trip. It has voice service available at different rates depending upon the country called. As an example, calling Kuwait is $.06 Mobile, $.07 landline a minute. I am in Costa Rica now and the pricing is $.03-$.10 a minute. Data rates however are huge for Roamless in both countries at $14.45 per Gb! Compare this to $2.45 per Gb in Europe for example. They also have promotions that can lower this price substantially. My cost per Gb for Europe is currently at $1.14 due to coupon offers.
For my current needs, I see Roamless as a great option for data in some locations such as Europe, Australia, and other popular spots. Additionally, it has value as a voice option for low rates and no credit expiration.
