GoSIM - Provider of International Cell Phones and SIMS

Clark Howard suggested getting your SIM card from "GoSIM.com" or "Telestial" GoSIM.com
Regarding the information you gave us, the World Phone Plus package is probably the one that might suit you the best. It includes a GO-SIM card, with $10 airtime and a Nokia 3G quad-band UMTS GSM handset, which works in 175 countries and territories. Here is the link: http://www.gosim.com/index.php?page=3725_wpp You will be able to use it in the countries stated in your email apart from Zimbabwe, as we do not have any roaming partners there yet. In South Africa, Kenya, and the UK the incoming calls are free. While in: -South Africa calls to the USA or within the country, will be charged $0.60 per minute. -Kenya calls to the USA or the UK will be charged $0.69 per minute.

The SIMs we provide expire only after 18 months of non activity, The number provided is an Estonian based number beginning with +372, so people calling you will have to check how much they will be charge for making an International phone call.
