if you are on the americas choice plan with either 450,900,1350,2000 etc you are on a NO ROAM plan which meants you will never be charged for roaming as lon gas you are in the US

if you are on a share plan with 700,1400,2100,3000 etc is no roam also.

dave your phone has a feature called standalone mode which will turn off all of the RF signals going in or out this will save your battery when you know your in a low signal area. but everything else still works phone book alarm clock calendar. and you can draft texts then send them when you turn standalone mode off. Good luck

Your not roaming, your just not getting a good signal or a signal at all. They don't work in Walmart or Meijer for me and I've heard others say that too.
