I've got a line on my Fi account that almost exclusively roams in the UK. Only been on-net in the US a few times and they've never complained about excessive roaming.

It roams on 3UK. And works fine. Albeit the LTE deployment isn't near as wide there as it is in the US. And you end up on HSDPA pretty frequently.

When using a data-only Fi SIM (which are free if you have an account, just pay the bandwidth), they always just act as a T-Mobile US MVNO and route back through the US. Still, latency aside, I've found it incredibly reliable (plus in many countries you can pick from multiple networks).

If you have an Android phone it may switch to 3UK/Hutch's global network, though I have less experience with that.
