Re: "3" in Netherlands
When I had a '3' phone I had to call them to make sure roaming was on before I went abroad.

Re: "3" in Netherlands
In this country "3" use either thier own or Orange networks.. In other countries it's upto the reciprocal agreements that each company has with other companies..
Anyway a quick peek at the THREE site give me

Re: "3" in Netherlands
Chill, it should work am on o2 myself and it just picks any network that is available but you'll always have to pay roaming charges.
I think it might just pick KPN Telecom as thats the most used network in Holland with the best 3G coverage.

I would see "here", but that's a craptacular link you've posted. Congratulations, you win the award for "most buggered up post" today. 
A more relevant link is this: http://ec.europa.eu/news/environment/090422_1_en.htm
But it only takes effect from July, so expect phone companies to charge through the roof just to go between countries with your phone.
Have you considered a local PAYG sim-card with an old phone?

3 do not operate in the Netherlands. Orange no longer operates in the Netherlands, France Telecom sold its customer base and network to T-Mobile, Holland has a smaller customer base than the UK which is why there arent many networks and thats why Hutchison did not re-launch mobile services.
