Setting roaming preferences
Sometimes you are in a location that’s not
covered by the Verizon Wireless network,
and yet you can still make phone calls.
That’s because you’re within network
coverage of a wireless service provider
with which Verizon Wireless has a roaming
agreement.
When you roam outside the Verizon
Wireless network, the roaming
icon
appears at the top of the screen. Additional
charges may apply if you use your
smartphone while roaming. To learn more
about roaming charges, contact Verizon
Wireless.
Things to keep in mind when using
roaming services:
• You can make and receive calls while
roaming.
• Other features, such as call waiting and
voicemail, may be available depending
upon your roaming network.
• Data services may not be available
when you are roaming on partner
networks.
Use
Network Preferences to set specific
options for using your phone while
roaming. For example, you can set an
option to be notified that you are roaming
before placing a call or making a data
connection, so that you are aware that you
might incur extra charges.
