This sounds like an awful lot of jockeying around on the billing statement if you ask me.

Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't a small handful of cellular providers throughout Europe so as to keep this kind of crap down to a minimum like it is here in the US. Not that it's all cake & ice cream here either, but at least you can travel & still get something that resembles service.

That & I'm clueless as to what you folks have to deal with in Europe. I've only passed through. Never lived there owning a cell phone, so I'm taking a purely grade school educated guess.
