If you get right down to it, as I pointed out, all T Mobile UK is doing is bringing their international roaming rates in line with what T Mobile USA currently charges for roaming in Europe; which means their roaming rates were far higher (at least 40% so) then what T Mobile USA charges....

It is obvious, at least to me, that the days of the international roaming rip off in Europe are fast coming to an end and like it or not, at some point in the near future the eu will issue regulations which will mean that intra European rates will be the same as home town within Europe rates and that fight as they may, the time will soon be here, thank goodness, that you will not pay to receive a call anywhere in Europe with a European sim.

I just wonder what that will do to companies such as UM or O9....
