A much better alternative would be: http://www.knowroaming.com/ http://www.knowroaming.com/ - It's a SIM Sticker that sticks onto your existing SIM - When you roam, it activates, and uses its networks (but you can disable it, as you wish) - Calls, SMS etc are available at very decent rates. - Data is available at very reasonable rates (10c - 25c per MB - this is amazing for roaming) - Coverage is very, very good. I worked my way through Turkey, Iran, Iraq, the stans, Asia, Australia, South America, Russia.. all with coverage. Highly recommended, and not some dodgy service.
