Is it a dream? Did carriers finally got it? Or just some of them?
Earlier last month we saw 3 killing the roaming fees (in 3′s networks around Europe). Now, it’s O2 UK that extended its My Europe roaming scheme to cover 31 countries with the launch of My Europe Extra. The new service abolishes charges for incoming calls regardless of which network the call is received on. Also, making calls within Europe and back to the UK are charged at a flat rate of 25p per minute – a 70% discount over standard rates. Check out O2′s site for more info.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
