Guys I am on the National Freedom Plan. I made a call today while in a
neighboring county of my home state. Well I received a "You might be
roaming" message from Verizon. I updated the PRL just a day or so ago. What
gives with the message??

TIA

Ernest

Don't worry about it, but do check your bill. Alltel will easily credit
mistakes like this.

What's your call? I'm Larry W4CSC Charleston, SC

And again Larry is WRONG.

It's entirely possible to roam on the NF plan AND get charged for it.

If the roam indicator was on and it was steady (NOT blinking) then you
will get charged,and that charge is correct and should not be
adjusted.

If it's verizon you likely won't get charges, but you could. Contrary
to popular belief, the entire Verizon network is not an Alltel
partner, though a very large portion of it is.

There was a FAQ somewhere that explained this; Greater Freedom is
geography based (he said neighboring county in his home state) and
credit would likely be given. National Freedom is carrier based, and
if you are unlucky, it can be roaming. There was a hole in NC on I77
near VA where (past tense, it has been fixed) coverage was solid roam;
my son was on the way to Blacksburg with his GF plan, his buddy with
NF ... Buddy was charged for about 50 minutes of roaming. It is worth
asking; if there was a network problem, Alltel will PROBABLY be the
nice guys ... if he asks nicely.
