Telestial list international SIM cards for people traveling overseas. For instance, if you take your own handset with you, which needs to be unlocked, their SIM cards let you call from other countries on your phone.

I am incredibly disappointed in Telestial.com.  I do not recommend using them.  I placed an order to rent a phone for some international travel on 23 Dec. 2008.  I indicated on the order form that I needed the phone delivered on 02 Jan 2009 (my flight departs very early on  05 Jan 2009).  The order came back w/ a 3-business day shipping at a charge of $16.  Shouldn't be a problem, right?  The website clearly says that phones shipped by 3 business days come via Fed Ex.  I just called to check on the status of the phone, had it been shipped, and could I get a fed ex tracking #.  I was informed that the phone was shipped by UPS (not FedEx) and would not arrive until 05 Jan 2009 by 4:30PM.  Obviously after I will have departed.  So, they didn't follow their own business practices as outlined on their website.  I politely asked them to put a phone into FedEx for me w/ next day delivery at their cost because of their mistake, and they refused!  They may have "saved" themselves a couple of bucks by using UPS instead of Fed Ex, but they have lost me as a customer FOREVER!  You can't rely on this company to deliver on time.  BE FOREWARNED AND STAY AWAY!!!!

Package departed on "3 DAY SELECT" delivery with UPS on the 24th - 12/24/2008 3:17 P.M. PICKUP SCAN - the shipment ran into several weather delays - e.g. 12/31/2008 2:30 A.M. ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS SEATTLE, WA, US - Customer even spoke to customer service about this on the 30th and agreed to a return and refund. We can't control the weather!!!
