Where are the roaming settings on mobile phones?
When you sign up for a mobile phone, there is usually a local area (could be your entire state, or could be your entire country). When you are inside your local area, you do not pay extra fees for long-distance connections. But if you travel outside your local area (could be to another state, or could be to another country), you are now "roaming" and your signal is bouncing off a different carrier, thus incurring long-distance call charges. Your phone company (Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT, GCI, etc) define the local area and what is considered roaming. This cannot be changed by the user. Talk to your phone company to find out what your local area is, and what charges will be incurred if you "roam".
