The below is tested on a Nexus 5, as this is what I have.. details for iphone etc. will be similar but different.
As shipped the SIM is in UK mode, which means it behaves exactly the same as a standard UK SIP2SIM.
On [[Android]], in the app drawer a new app will have become visible called 'SIM Tool Kit'. When you select that you get the options on the SIM:
* Multi-Account
** Country Selection
*** UK
*** Roaming
** Set Global Fallback
*** Enabled
*** Disabled
To enable the EU roaming feature select 'Roaming'. You then have to select a non-O2 provider in Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Operators.
You must do this quickly otherwise the SIM will see the O2 connection and switch itself back to UK mode, and you have to start again (it's not obvious where the blame lies for this bug!).
To switch back to UK either select UK in the country selection or select O2 in the network operators list.
At the present time it is unknown what the 'Set Global Fallback' option does.
