I think it was sometime last year T-Mobile prepaid US added a lot of extra roaming countries, here's a list (pdf):

(the UK is missing, but somebody reported it works there as well, at the same 1.49/min rate as other western European countries).

At 2.99/min you picked one of the more expensive countries to test in! Good thing it wasn't Vietnam or Kenya! (5.99/min).

The roaming is expensive but I think it's one of the few, if not the only, US prepaid that roams in Europe and Asia, and if you're mainly receiving texts it's fine. For example, if you've set up a US credit card to send text alerts when your card is used, it's very useful to be able to get those while overseas!
