It's not about oil, I think. Simply US dollar is getting weaker and weaker againt euro, so they have to pay more and more dollars to Europan operators (perhaps not directly, it's enough that 09 charging them in euros - the final result is the same). However, if you pay less and less in forints for each Yackie dollar top-up, you should be "rewarded" (to some extent) for those nominally higher prices

You mean a Hungarian SIM roaming in Austria? Despite the fact, that roaming prices in the EU are limited by the law, think about the number of operators involved. When you call from Austria with a Hungarian SIM, it involves your "home" operator and its Austrian roaming partner. But when you use Yackie, you really use an Austrian roaming partner, 09 of Iceland, Swisscom as the "roaming provider" and Yackie of Miami to charge for all this stuff. Whereas using Yackie allows avoiding European VAT, it doesn't have necessarily to be cheaper, I dare to suppose
