    Well when I was in UK I was using Orange and pretty satisfied with its service and coverage.

    Vodafone, Orange and O2 are the big providers in the UK. They also have great coverage across Europe. I would recommend a UK provider for travelers looking for European coverage simply because they speak English so you'd have no problems if you need to speak to tech support, billing, sales etc.

    Orange UK have recently merged with T-Mobile UK and now hold the lions share of the market sector.

    I would definitely opt for a European provider when traveling in Europe versus paying huge roaming call charges on your US cell phone. Countries in the European Union (EU) must comply with EU regulations, one of which is a cap on roaming charges therefore you can be assured you'll not pay overtly high prices.

    And if you're interested...
    Orange are owned by France Telecom
    T-Mobile are owned by Deutsche Telekom
    O2 are owned by Telefonica of Spain

    Hope this was useful...

    I am a proud user of Orange Romania since 1999, for a short period a pre-paid customer, than I chose a post-paid scheme. I also have a secondary mobile phone from DigiMobil, which I mainly use far calling abroad while driving, cause rates are the same as when using a landline.

    The CallinEurope rates look very good to me and what I also liked is the postpaid billing for calls made during the previous month. For a casual user, the final cost may not be much better than with other providers, but for a heavy user, CallinEurope looks like a winner.

    I've used mobistar for 4 - 5 years. (belgium operator)
    i just sticked with it because i never had any problems it was a pre paid card
    had good coverage a good working voicemail and thats all i needed in those days.
    but now for a few weeks ago i changed to proximus, pay and go generation.
    simply because of the fact that i found out it could be much cheaper
    still good coverage (i dont think there is bad coverage in belgium )
    good voicemail. but now i have cheaper smsand sms for free after 16.00 and weekends.
    And this provider gives out alot more promos than mobistar did.
    And for me,a new costumer they gave away even more .
    i get to sms and sms free for 4 months 24/24 and 7days/7.
    and get 10€ free with every reload for 4 months.
    it's possible to reload through m-banxafe too so thats another comfort added.
    but that was possible on mobistar too.
    i still didnt had any complaints about proximus, so i cant tell about costumer service. but as long as all goes well i guess thats a good thing right?

    I have used several providers in Europe during my travels and I must say that I have not had any "bad" experiences at all. I have used Vodafone, TIM, Orange etc and they have all provided me with excellent service. I can't say that I have used the data portion of their services all that much it was mainly the voice but I don't recall anytime in particular where I was unhappy with coverage or sound quality. In my opinion, since the competition and the geographical area to cover is so tight, you can't really go wrong with any provider. It is just a matter of which one fits your budget best....

    I have started with Tim (i think it's italian), then Cosmote (greek) and I stuck with Vodafone the last 2 years.

    I've used tele 2, 3 (three), vodaphone.
    Tele2: Is the cheapest of them but don't offer so much services as the others. Uses both gsm and 3g.

    3: Is an operator who only uses the 3g network. Offers alot of services everything you can amagine, they're really service minded.

    Vodaphone: Is a company wich lies between tele 2 and 3. I've actually worked at there swedish main office. But they're named Telenor in sweden and the rest of nothern europe.

    I'm using eplus in Germany since 5 years. I'm really satisfied. Once I had software-problems with a new nec-phone. after 24 hours it was replaced, for free. I also had a plan with o² but am not that happy. the coverage is not that good, especially in buildings.
