My understanding is that all I need to get is Pay As You Go SIM, text INTERNATIONAL to 2345, then Text PASSPORT to 2345.
So, my question is as follows:
Will result be that I will have free incoming calls from anywhere as long as I am in the EU countries?
Will my outgoing calls to US cost 5p per minute?
How much would be the calls made to US and UK be if using my phone while in Germany?
Appreciate your help

The promotion as was announced was supposed to run from 01 June to 31 August...at this point there has been no annoucement as to whether it will be extended. I suspect not as there have been no annoucements but what I think and what actually happens are two different things.
If it is not extended, with vodafone passport you will be able to receive calls within Germany dialed to the Vodafone number but will pay a flat fee of 75p per call...depending on your calling patterns that might or might not be a good deal...you might be better off, for example, with O2's my Europe bolt on which costs a flat 10 quid per month or pay by the call with O2 or T Mobile or Orange at 19p/minute to receive calls.
On Vodafone UK, I believe the price to call the USA and most other places would be 38p/minute but don't hold me to that either.
Of course, the promotion might have been so successful that they would not want to get rid of it (but as I said, don't hold your breath).
