Andy....

Are there vodafone companies in those countries...when first conceived vodafone required you to roam on a vodafone network....it seems they have now opened it up to favored network providers in just about all of the European countries perhaps to compete with O2's 35p rate or perhaps to try to fend off eu intervention.

Some interesting ones on the list including Australia and New Zealand (we all know united mobile does not have a roaming partner in New Zealand) and also Japan (despite the fact Vodafone has sold Vodafone Japan...but you will need a different phone in Japan) and no Norway.
