Question about eurotariffs

Our EU friends will know for sure. I believe the ORIGIN country is immaterial. HOWEVER, at least in Germany, implementation has been somewhat uneven. I believe in some cases there, the USER must request being switched to the new rate. In other words, a switch is not necessarily automatic. I would expect there could be surprises in other countries, too. Example, if you had the VODAFONE passport, as far as I know, at least in Germany, unless you request a change, you will have that rate rather than the imposed lower roaming rate.

Also remember that some few countries do not belong to the EU. CH comes immediately to mind, but I suspect the former Soviet-bloc countries do not all belong.
