Can't UK (and all users in "Euro"" countries) now roam in each others countries very cheaply? Maybe I have misinterpreted what has happened "over there".
U.S. users can now roam 95% of the time since T-Mobile has "free" roaming (unlimited text and data) and 20¢/min voice.

Truphone obviously has to focus on heavy (business) users outside the U.S.- and focus on UK and other travelers going to U.S. and other countries. I wouldn't think it pays to deal with a consumer type that travels only once or twice a year and racks up minimal bills.
