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".

Will iPhone 4S work if bought in US and used in India?
the iPhone models will work mostly anywhere in any country. However, by buying a handset in a different company and it has been registered there and it's on another country's network, then you will receive a hefty bill full of roaming charges for telephone calls made, as it will be considered calling abroad. If you buy the handset or intend to in one country and not register it or initialise it up for the first time, then you are best to check direct with Apple to ensure that you can register the handset in a different country and not be charged roaming charges. I am sure there will be some work around, as there would have to be especially of the phone had been gifted to you by say a relative who happens to live in another country.
