  Hi benji
  
  Just to clarify this further – how is the ekit used? I had assumed it would be like a phone card that you put in phone boxes (we do in Aus anyway) and it would have credit on it…
  
  Thanks!

  yeah, the card will have a unique number on it – it’s not something that’s already been designated to you, it’s just for the card. does that make sense? it’s like an account number. if you sign up to pay for more minutes, you can change it to be something you’ll remember – usually they’ll suggest something similar to your mobile number so you can remember it. the only thing that pissed me off using it in europe was i only seemed to be able to add money in US dollars. it didn’t make much sense to me, but the aussie dollar was strong enuf against the greenback i didn’t care too much…except when i got home and realised i’d been hit with extra fees on my credit card. oh well.
