Thank God for that. Every time crossing the border this has drove me mad.0

"But given the offer is also open to Pay As You Go customers, there doesn’t seem to be any reason why you can’t pop a free Vodafone SIM card into an old handset and register for free roaming, while keeping your current provider or buying into the smartphone craze next month."
This is also good news.0 -

The timing of this announcement is interesting, with the European elections going on. Hmmmmmm
Is Strasbourg freeing up the roaming charges just as election time approaches?

Newspapers were reporting that roaming charges were agreed by MEP's to drop from July 1, that's a month after Vodophones offer.
It might be worth looking at what the MEP's have agreed, before signing uo to Vodaphone

EU legislation agreement.

Do remember to switch 'vodafone passport' off again on 1st September before their rip-off 'passport' connection charges start again0
