Fantastic product. So easy to use and delivery was quicker than stated. And I have to give a huge shout out to the great customer service, as my teen daughter was using this card while in France on student exchange and initially became unsure how to activate it properly, but a quick email to customer service and a reply within the hour had her up and running... She just had to turn her phone off then on again π.
