Even in Germany where prices are outrageous the US prices seem completely unhinged.

Well, to be fair, we're "in network" and not roaming on a landmass the size of the EU.

I fail to see why that's a reason to be so expensive tbh. These massive companies have way more customers too so they have huge savings.

Hahaha...yes we are, thus "roaming" prices. At least where I live, there is higher price and/or additional costs when calling outside home country.

It's kinda fair tho looking at the fact that providers need to negotatie using each others infrastructure for this to work.
