There is an article this morning on the BBC news site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23896896) that a British service provider is offering roaming in seven countries at no additional charge. Those countries are: Republic of Ireland, Australia, Italy, Austria, Hong Kong, Sweden and Denmark. It is not clear if their free pay as you go SIM cards can take advantage of this offer.

Separately, the BBC also reported (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23695623) that the EU is considering other proposals, including one to make all 28 member states part of a single telecom market, meaning that roaming costs would disappear. However, this is just a proposal at this point.
