Just an FYI for those who use international travel SIM cards.
I recently ordered World Sim since my previous company (ekit) had started to provide horrible service. It is a British based company. I paid for an exclusive local US number for a year.
Tonight I was testing it & couldn't make phone calls to my US based mobile phone. Found out, they can't make text messages to any Verizon customer in the US. You can call but not text. NOTHING in their info says anything about not being able to use with Verizon customers
They indicated it was a Verizon policy, not theirs but they still, IMO, have an obligation to tell US customers they can't contact anyone back home via text who is a Verizon customer.
When I complained, they basically said, too bad.
So I contacted OneSim (their chief competitor). NO problem texting Verizon or any other customers in the US.
So BUYER BEWARE if you are looking for an international SIM to text home with. Learn from my expensive lesson mistake
