Sprint's "no roaming" policy vs. Verizon America's Choice
I've had an ongoing discussion (disagreement) in the Sprint forum concerning roaming charges and policies. Here is Sprint's in writing:
"With unlimited Sprint PCS roaming plans, Sprint may terminate service if a majority of minutes in a given month are used while roaming. Nights (Mon.-Thurs., 7pm to 7am). Weekends (Fri. 7pm to Mon. 7am). Partial minutes are charged as full minutes. With unlimited roaming plans, Sprint may terminate service if a majority of minutes in a given month are used while roaming off of the Sprint PCS Network."
I live in 48768 zip code. I asked Verizon specifically if their policy is similar to Sprint's and if I am limited to calling within their network any specific minimum minutes. They said flat out as long...

Does anyone know if there is a secret hidden policy that Verizon didn't inform me of?
no 😎

no there is no limit to how much extended network you can use, however if you live in an area that is only extended network Verizon wireless may not sell your service, however if you live in a VZW service area and you get signed up, at that point you can do all the extended network use you want.

Thanks.
VZW did know we live in Extended Network area and had no problem with it; not an issue at all. I signed up online and then had to call to verify in order for my wife to receive her USPS employee discount. I asked no less than three times about their policy and got the same answer.
Thanks VZW for providing service in our rural area.
