This is how it works:
The US has GSM 1900. Northern California Pacific Bell services it as PacBell PCS.
Europe has GSM 900 & newly GSM 1800.
There is at least one phone from Bosch that can do both systems (US and rest of world).
Both Pac Bell and Swisscom do NOT offer mutual roaming.
In the US there is Omnipoint, which allows you to roam both California and Switzerland (and rest of world of course),
and in UK there is Orange and Vodafone, which offer similar services.
