Hi Jams. Thanks for your suggestion. You are right, that Mobal is simply reselling a rebranded (and slightly modified) T-Mobile US plan. I wonder if they are really authorized by T-Mobile to do that, as the carrier is never mentioned. Big draw back is the throttled speed of max. 128 kbps. But roaming data is not limited. This is too slow for most VoIP codecs like Skype. It's also too slow for navigating websites with pictures. But it is fine for maps or text messenging.

You are wrong that T-Mobile in the US sells it on their postpaid contracts only. They have added it to their prepaid Simply Choice plans as well (see here). Simply Choice plans are no contracts, but prepaid monthly plans (see here). But for $50/month, you will get many US allowances, Mobal is not specific about. I have never heard that a Simply Choice plan was discontinued, because it was used mainly for internatl. roaming. They have expanded free roaming to 140+ countries recently.

Mobal says for the US: "Free unlimited text and data" - whatever speed this means. At least they add an own billing system with surcharges. While all calls in roaming countries are 20c/min on T-Mobile, they charge 30c/min on Mobal. I can't really see any advantage of their offer. The internatl. speed limit is very well hidden in their Q&As. Better get a 99c SIM card on T-Mobile and book the $50 Simple Choice plan and you know what you get.

Please understand as I got my doubts about this SIM and I can't see any advantage of this clone, I will not add it to the list.
