This is a bizarre comment. Most people in Europe just have one SIM card when they travel - they just pay roaming charges (either flat-rate or variable), which have been steadily decreasing. It's the same with your US SIM card when you travel to Canada, you either pay roaming charges or have a flat-rate roaming package.

Your comment implies there's some technical limitation that stops SIM cards from one country in Europe working in others - this couldn't be further from the truth.

International roaming is one thing that I'm pretty sure nobody would agree is better in the US than in Europe
