Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / December 2006AC1 Roaming charges...Anyone remember the per-minute charge?
I'm in Florida, visiting relatives, and I was roaming onto a non-included network (Cingular), while out in an area with no Verizon coverage. The display was not flashing, which indicates off-extended network roaming. I can't remember how much Verizon charges for off-network roaming on the old Americas Choice plan. Before anyone chimes in with the impossibility of roaming onto Cingular, it was the Cingular AMPS network that I was roaming onto. I was out in the Everglades, and there was no digital coverage of any kind, GSM, CDMA, or iDEN (well I guess satellite would have worked). I found it rather ironic, that as a Verizon customer, I had good coverage on Cingular's network, but that almost no Cingular customer, albeit the few TDMA/AMPS holdouts, could use Cingular's excellent AMPS network in this area. It'll be a real shame when Cingular turns off this network in 2008. > I'm in Florida, visiting relatives, and I was roaming onto a non-included > network (Cingular), while out in an area with no Verizon coverage.

I think I was on for only about six minutes, so it won't be too bad. I guess I can't check the calls until the on-line statement is available, they don't let you see call details prior to the end of the billing period. > I'm in Florida, visiting relatives, and I was roaming onto a > non-included network (Cingular), while out in an area with no Verizon [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > network in this area.
