With international roaming, when you switch your phone on in Beijing, or Singapore, or Frankfurt, snap, it works. Not only you can start making calls immediately, but also the girl you met in a bar last Saturday in Gdansk, Poland, can call you. Not to mention your wife and kids. And your brother-in-law who needs a loan. Its like magic, this GSM world. Its also been around for about ten years. - rajala
