I agree. That makes no sense. To be able to pull that off, it means their billing system will have to factor in the address/location that the sim was purchased in. I suspect most people in the EU will just roam on their local sims anyway, unless tru's rates are much cheaper.

Edit: I just checked their rates in the UK for someone living in the US. It's quoted in US $ and is just about equivalent to the rates for someone living in the UK, which is quoted in pounds. So, for a US traveler using tru in the UK is not bad. However, it's more expensive in any other EU country.
