I read it to say outbound calls to the UK are on plan (no mention of the country you are in), but I don't see anything about inbound call. Since Three UK doesn't surcharge inbound calls from foreign destinations I think it is more likely than not that inbound calls are not surcharged. This UK article reads the situation the same Snidely:

Regardless, if you can call the UK for included minutes, you can use a cheap calling card to call elsewhere.

Australian providers have flat fee roaming in some countries:

Then there is TMobile USA and variants of Three like home in other countries. The way things are going, we may need to shutter this web site in a year or two and just be content with a world without roaming fees.

The fact that the US (which use to not be a team player in roaming) is now a cheap or free roam in these deals makes me think that an EU without roaming fees may be include her number one trading partner
