So by the comments on this so far, it's not OK for Americans to travel anywhere else in the world and use their phones?

The clue here is in the ROAMING. It's not going to be free, there will be cross charges, but it means people don't have to swap SIM cards, or handsets jus because they go on vacation for a few weeks somewhere else for instance.

It's attitudes like this driven by the $ than explain why your mobile phone systems don't meet global standards, and why you are so far behind with common technologies.

If you let people work together, it benefits everyone, and the big players will make more money by allowing this.
