AT&T & T-Mobile Roaming Agreement?
I have an AT&T Nationwide Plan with no roaming. Lately, in my home market of Los Angeles, I have been roaming onto the T-Mobile network.
Will my account be canceled if I have too much "off network" usage?
Or, will I be charged any roaming fees for voice, texting, or data? Or is it like being on the AT&T network?

Actually yes, you will be shut off (with notice) if you have frequent and excessive off network usage. Because AT&T is terminating the contracty, you will not incur any termination fees.
In other words: you're costing them more than you're making them.

That is what I thought. AT&T must have changed/upgraded the system in my area. For some reason, the coverage is a little worse at my residence...and, I roam over to T-Mobile...
Time to upgrade my phone and see if that may help?

I think it is wise for you if you are roaming on T-mobile to actually go over to them. Try to see if that UMA service is being offered in your area to help with your in-door coverage.

Stay with AT&T until they shut you off, tons of people roam at home on T-Mobile, and vice versa. The roaming agreements between the two companies is very fair, and you really need to be doing some serious talking on that T-Mobile cell site to get shut off.
When they send you the notice you have 60 days to port out with no ETF.

Some of the roaming agreements aren’t fair however and that is why one of the reasons the company is being that other one out. Regardless, if they are roaming in their house on another network it is best to go with the company they are roaming.

It's situational. What if that person travels a lot? What if that person rarely uses their cell phone at the house and uses their landline instead there?
If they are roaming off t-mobile at their house, yet everywhere else the go is AT&T on network, it doesn't matter.
Just because the service at your house may be a different carrier doesn't mean you should switch to them. That's what the roaming agreements are for.
All I'm trying to say is let the company send you that EON (Excessive Off Network) letter before you switch. Otherwise you'll pay ETF anyways.

I wasn’t saying that the person should switch and subject to be paying the ETF I was just saying if the majority of the roaming minutes are on the other network (roaming partner) it would be better to switch for both parties. It’s expensive after a period for the carrier in which you don’t use their own network but their partners.

Quick question: Do you have AT&T for your home telephone service?
If the answer is yes, you can get a unity plan that allows you to use your home phone to call others with, and not burn your daytime minutes. The people you call most would also need that plan as well.
With regards to texting, while at home, you can use your computer to send text messages. The e-mail addre...
