Before O2's Roam Like Home in EU countries, I used to get an SMS that said "Welcome to Ireland" if my phone roamed (I live near the UK border with Ireland). At that point, if I enabled data, received a call or sent a text, the charge was automatically triggered, and I got a second SMS advising me I had just been charged 4.99 (or whatever).
I guess you can check in your MyO2 to see if you have been charged for roaming in the country in which you are holidaying. You will need a WiFi signal to check without having to enable data though, catch-22. 😳
Disable voicemail, data roaming and set updates to "on WiFi only" and you *should* be safe and in control.

Good luck, @Alarmclockmon, and
