There are T-Mobile plans that work this way.

The T-Mobile plan is limited to high speed in North America, and 2G elsewhere. Even when you pay to upgrade to 3G, it’s capped at something like 1/4 MBps. It’s borderline unusable internationally.

The T-Mobile plan has worked fine for me in both Australia and the UK, even for navigation.

... available to american customers.

Wake me up when it's the other way around :/

If you're in the UK, Three offer plans that are comparable (if I'm understanding correctly). "Feel at Home": http://www.three.co.uk/feel-at-home

If you're in the Netherlands, KPN offers a 100GB EU+US plan, and T-Mobile offers a Unlimited NL + 10GB EU+US plan (although you should boycott T-Mobile [1]).

It's not quite the entire world, but it might be useful if you travel to the US often.

Is there any way I could get a decent KPN SIM prepaid while travelling (I'm not a resident)?
