Interesting. I wonder how they manage to pull that off. I see that they partner with T-Mobile and AT&T for the US. I don't imagine AT&T lets them access their network for so little money. I wonder what would happen if I got one of their SIM cards and then just used it full-time in the US. Would they cut me off as an abuser, or just eat the cost...?

The details page [1] does include this

> Feel At Home is designed for UK residents who are on holiday or business trips abroad, not for extended periods abroad.

And I just noticed this

> You can't use your phone as a personal hotspot (tethering) while you're abroad

There's always a catch! Still, that's quite a good deal if you live where they expect you to live. Good roaming while traveling abroad would be great to have. AT&T is definitely not good in that respect.
