Postings like the one below by "R. Cameron" (company spokesman) are not appropriate for this space. The rates for this prepaid card are atrocious. I just traveled through China, Thailand, Singapore, India and Western Europe, where cell phone services are lightyears ahead of the United States. In any of these countries, you can buy a prepaid SIM card in any convenience store, pop into your cell phone and get minute rates at a quarter of the price of this card. And they'll only expire after four months if you don't recharge them again. My point is, don't support this service in the U.S. until prices come down significantly.
