And the proposal to abolish roaming for EU carriers within EU not yet approved, as far as I know. Recent elections won't help, either!

OFF topic: Yeah - just read in today's NYTimes about how far to the right some countries are going. Isolationism now seems to be quite popular in some countries. Can't understand Greece which was bailed out by the rest of the EU.

Anyway - my original statement still stands. In the original days of cellular in the U.S. you paid long distance for any call outside your very local area and paid to roam outside your immediate home area. For the last several years, calls anywhere within the U.S. are considered "local", and there hasn't been roaming within U.S. for, maybe, 10 years. Starting about 5 years ago, most "regular" plans include unlimited voice minutes (in/out). The same will happen with international calling and roaming in the not to distant future.
