UK is part of the EU, so you should say "Switzerland" instead of "UK"

Anyway, in 2014 you can choose your roaming partner (e.g.: T-Mobile, Orange, O2/Telefònica, Vodafone, etc.) regardless of your carrier (if it isn't convenient to you) and hopefully in 2015 you'll be able to receive calls without paying anything... at the moment, carriers in the european market do not want to offer cheap tariffs when you're abroad (also big groups like Vodafone try to profit even if you're on one of their networks

- 3 is the only group which allows you to use your offers abroad when you're on their networks (except 3 UK customers) and Meteor IE doesn't charge you incoming calls within EU).

EU has imposed lower tariffs abroad year by year, but many carriers apply the maximum allowed by their regulation.

There's no carrier who wants to compete on the abroad tariffs...
