ekit V520 Europe cell phone
 
Any one recommend using ekit for an international cell phone when in Europe?

Don't know about their phone, but the ekit SIM has worked fine for me in the unlocked GSM quadband phone I bought on eBay. Have used it in France and Canada.

I use eKit SIM cards all the time. I picked up a bunch of $10 airtime cards for $5 each on eBay, so I don't even bother doing a refill, just pop in another card. While their minutes are not the cheapest, it works well, you can get a US number before you leave, at no cost. I think I still have about 6 of these from the last trip and will give them to my niece who will be going to Europe in a few months.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet which I will be taking along for my holidays. Can I use the eKit SIM card while I'm on the road?

Not sure, is your tablet able to use the frequencies in Europe? If so, is it unlocked where you can use a SIM card from another carrier?
