Welcome aboard!

I have never heard of CAMEL roaming. Do you have a link or some other definition? Is CAMEL a company or service?

Also, I am not quite sure what you mean by "roaming callback"?

When you roam (use your home country's SIM/phone in another country), some providers do not allow you to call the number DIRECTLY. Instead you must use a callback method. Some time ago that was indeed the case with T-Mobile Germany SIMs for call placed in the United States. However, since then, one can dial any number directly using a German T-Mobile SIM in the US.

In general, calls placed (and received) from a country (received while you are in a foreign country) are billed at higher rates than calls made from the home country.

Yes, CAMEL roaming is what T-Mobile prepaid uses around the USA. Except for the screen display you wouldn't know that you are roaming.
