US Carrier for Prepaid + Roaming in Europe?

Another option might be using Google Voice. I'm not sure if GV will forward SMS to a foreign mobile, though.

Last time I tried, Google Voice wasn't able to forward SMS to a non-North American number (nor voice calls).

However, Google Voice DOES send a copy of each received sms to email, so you could port your number to GV and get your texts via email (or just tell people a new number, your GV number).

I've no idea how well the sending of texts to your number would work after porting if it's from an automated service such as a bank (the sort where you have to specify your carrier).
