An update:

I got the SIM a few weeks ago but just got around to messing with it today.
I registered it online without any issues. It was the free SIM so 0 credit. Since I'm in Poland, I added the free 30 day local number online. It says it can take up to 3hrs to activate, but mine activated instantly. On the online account it shows the activation day, expiration day, and a option to auto renew it (or select it for 30 days for free) It's the 3p outgoing, free incoming and 15p/MB. Calling to the USA is 3P/min which is cheaper than my local mobile provider.
I tried to call the number with 0 credit, but it came with a not active message.
I topped up 10GBP via paypal and got 11GBP credit on my account (on the site it says get bonus credit for online topup)
I gave it a few minutes to register the credit and then I tried the local number (PL) and it worked without any issues.

So far this is really cool. I just need to remember to once every 90days make a call

Toggle Mobile SIMs don't seem to be available on Amazon anymore. I tried ordering directly from the Toggle Mobile website, but it rejected two credit cards. Any idea how I can get a SIM? I'm guessing it has something to do with my using a USA credit card on a UK site?

Send them a email. They were quick to respond.

Thanks. I e-mailed Toggle, and they wrote back that they would send me a free SIM. They also said "attempts made to purchase the sim card online were unsuccessful due to random security checks in place to protect our customers." If anyone else experiences this issue, drop them an e-mail.

Hy,

I've found this site that goes into detail on this aspect of pre paid sims.

Do you think it could be of help here?

It's called WorldSIM and uses custom engineered dual IMSI technology.

Basically there's TWO network profiles on the card, a USA +1 number and a UK +44 number in which they negotiate the lowest rates worldwide.

Rates:

All rates in USD. 0.20/minute in UK 0.40 in most of Europe and 0.40 in North America (USA, Canada and Mexico on Lusa cell with USA +1 profile).

Receiving calls in a-lot of countries is FREE and is FREE in Western Europe & North America. Data rates are resonable too.

Also another one is ekit:

The advantage of some of these SIM'es is that you are not just limited to T-Mobile's network (example ekit, others I have to research further, I actually found another SIM that has a callback service taking advantage of free incoming calls) in the USA, it actually has a roaming priority list on the SIM card on most of them, it first searches for a T-Mobile signal (most populated areas in the US), if it finds one it connects, if it doesn't find one, it goes onto AT&T.

Since the majority of people are using it in areas with T-Mobile coverage I guess that's how they save costs (roaming on AT&T is higher) across their customer base.

Another cheap Chinese knock-off...lol. Good find!

Mentioned already in at least a half dozen other threads.

E-Kit is the same company as Telestial. Many threads reference them also.

I used Telestial in nine European countries last summer, with minimal problems. Their customer service people are quite good.

I have great luck with onesimcard.com

Has anyone had any experience with this company?

Imparticular they have a 30 rolling day Europe-wide Roaming Data SIM for 60GBP.

I have a 25 day trip coming up to Europe (france, belgium, netherlands, italy, switzerland, germany and austria) and I figured I would purchase a mifi device this time and use lebara sim cards where possible since all of my calls are back to Canada and the US.

These guys seem a bit odd in that they want a 100GBP deposit and want the sim card returned rather than just having it deactivate after the 30 days.

Any experience with these guys, or suggestions on other providers to look at would be appreciated.

Not used them personally but they've been around for a while and I know others who have used them - think they do the job they say they do.

Look carefully as 6GB for 60 pounds is only 1 GB Europe and 5GB UK. If you are primarily on the continent, make sure you can live with 1GB.

Anyone have experience with this sim?

i'm traveling to france, croatia and italy. phone calls will be minimal, but would like to have data access.

The last time I checked they were a little high, compared to the competition.
