Amid the scrap between Vodafone and the EU over plans to regulate lower roaming charges in Europe, I’ve been wondering – why are celphone roaming charges higher than even the highest of the country-pair’s domestic rates? And why are they not only just a little higher than standard rates, but orders of magnitude higher?

You aren’t kidding. I just got my Rogers bill for two weeks of roaming and very little usage in California – $115. A pretty blatant cash grab. I think I’ll pick up a US phone when I’m there in a couple of weeks.
