Global Calls with Local Rates via $40 SIM Card

This sounds a little too good to be true. I don’t have an unlocked GSM phone since I’m a Verizon subscriber so I can’t really test this service out. I found it on LifeHacker, though, so that’s credible enough for me to post here. Beware the fine print, though, just to be sure.

So get this: For $40, you can buy this card without the phone. Cubic says that you can slip it into any GSM phone — even your regular T-Mobile or AT&T phone, as long as it’s an “unlocked” phone (one that works with other companies’ SIM cards). Then your own cellphone behaves exactly like the Cubic phone described up to this point.
