With Verizon, I can turn on roaming and pick up any tower I can hit. As long as I don't hit a Mexican one it's free.
Not so in the north country. In our village, and other local villages, you get zero service with any carrier other than GCI. Happens every year, some one visits form the outside and their carrier guarantees them service out here. They get here and find they have no cell or data service. GCI or bust for us.....
