Interesting, my plan is cheaper overall, but roaming is more expensive. My unlimited plan for new contracts is 27 eur (29.50 usd), in reality mine gets covered by company and I know that for them it costs something like 10 eur. It includes 25 GB free data in EU.
I hate to justify a corporation's prices for them, but I have to imagine building and maintaining a network that covers the better part of a country the size of the US is more expensive. The US is twice the size of the entire EU and I imagine your carrier doesn't cover the EU directly but has roaming agreements.
