Roaming FAQs
What is Global Roaming?
Global roaming is when a customer uses a Cellcom iPhone 4S or newer handset with the customer's own mobile number and a Vodafone SIM outside North America for voice, data or sms.
What is roaming?
When you are outside of the home area, you are roaming. This means you are using another wireless carrier's tower and network. The map that was included in your rate plan brochure indicates your service area. Depending upon the plan you chose, this might cover a portion of a state, several states, or the US. When you are outside of your rate plan area, you will see the charge as roaming fees.
