This may help you more than it helps us – we’re regular travellers to the US, not Europe. However, the EU Commission have called for price reductions for roaming SMS and data traffic by the 1st July, or they will intervene and regulate.

We’ll see how this develops. The mobile companies found ways to wiggle around last years’ voice cost cuts – by requiring you to sign up to them, or to require a contract extension. The UK Government was actively against the cuts too.

We don’t hold out much hope of these proposed cuts coming to much, but any price drop is better than none.
