As of 1st July roaming charges in the European Union are reduced again dramatically, you have to calculate very exactly, if your "normal" home-SIM-card couldn't attractive, while being abroad, too.

Since Vodafone UK shows, that its possible to offer incoming free calls in the complete EU for british Vodafone UK Prepaid-Customers, it can be foreseen, that incumbent players are willing to wipe out all these small Roaming-SIM-Companies from the Game.
If and when roaming costs in the eu become what they should be, namely something close to what vodafone uk is offering this summer, that will most likely spell pretty much adieu to efforts by these international sim carriers. Or am I missing something?
