Vodafone passport is not offered in the USA because At&t wireless and T-Mobile the only two GSM networks in the States are not part of the Vodafone family. Verizon wireless is in part owned by Vodafone but as its a CDMA carrier handsets from most of the world including the UK do not work on that system. Offering passport on Verizon would be useless to Vodafone customers. Vodafone passport is offered in Japan because Vodafone used to own a GSM network now called SoftBank.
