All providers/plans here (Finland) provide near-global non-free roaming. Is it different where you live?

My provider lists ~190 roaming countries, not counting satellite/planes/ships, on their roaming rates page: https://elisa.fi/puheliittymat/kaytto-ulkomailla/

Yes, generally you have to activate intl roaming ~a week before you travel, by talking to a customer support agent on the phone, and it's limited to specific regions at a time. It's also ridiculously expensive.

The previous owner's migratory patterns likely made international roaming non-optional in this case.
