40-80 EUR is not that bad compared to many single country subscriptions in Scandinavia. Depends on whether it includes data traffic, free talk etc. If this works as advertised I believe it will be a game changer.
The EU maximum roaming charges[1] have to some extend compensated for the lack of competition but this would be even better.

- untog 14y agoIt's still a lot compared to just buying a PAYG SIM card when you arrive in a country. I tend not to travel between ten different countries, I'm usually back and forth between two or three. I can swap out SIM cards when I arrive and carry on like nothing ever happened. If you get a SkypeIn number you can just remap it to a different local number whenever you change SIM cards, it works great.
- taneliv 14y agoWhat? I pay 13€ / month for unlimited 15Mbps 3G in Finland, and kids have 5 € / month unlimited 0.5Mbps 3G. They all include some text and voice, and the coverage is spotless for daily commute and holidays. Where do you consider 40 € / month to be "not that bad" for similar connectivity? OTOH, roaming fees while traveling can easily burn through several hundreds of euros, making 40-80 € / month a good plan even if you travel only once a year (but need data while traveling). Just the downloading the maps for navigating from airport to hotel and checking your email may cost more than a hundred euros (been there, done that).
