Great service I had some doubts to purchase a sim card prior to leaving for Africa. I had thought it easier to just get one there. Nevertheless, I did and got the "Explorer" SIM. It is a flexible, very reasonably priced plan that comes with both North American and Rest-of-the-World phone numbers. Of course, I checked out the SIM prior to leaving (NA number) and it worked perfectly. I recommend Telestial for your communicatiosn throughout the globe..

Simply the Best with Network even in the remotest part of the WORLD This is my second sim, my first sim got damaged and I had to get another one. I travel abroad frequently and like keeping in contact with family and friends as often as possible. My US line works perfectly well wherever I am in the world. The network is perfect and charge rates is quite okay. Recharging is quite easy either online or via phone. I will always recommend Telestial to frequent travelers abroad.

Telestial used to be a good company but … Telestial used to be a good company but they have changed. For us in North America we used to get a U.S. number with our U.K./Global number. They changed that so the US number is $2/month and they make it difficult to keep your balance active to. When they made their service change they said they sent us an email (which I never received) about my old sim being inactive and having to get a new one. There are better international mobile services out there. Telestial also refuses to refund my balance to me as well. Go with a different company.

Spotty cell service no data Currently trying to use the phone and data plan on travel worth limited phone success and zero data success. This means I'm stranded with no navigation tools in a completely unfamiliar city. After dark. Woman alone with my daughter. Not okay.

MISLEADING INFO ABOUT RETURN DATE They do not make it clear that the rental period INCLUDES transit time. Then they try and charge you double the daily rate if it arrives later than expected. This is NOT stated on receipt, so I'm sure Visa will credit the erroneous 'late fee'. Customer service seemed like they get these inquiries all the time. This is a very shady business practice, and will never use this company again.
