Andrew,
You remind me of the type of individual that ends up having their expense reports kicked upstairs to me for sign off for unexplained and unauthorized charges.
I usually, with some glee, place it at the bottom of my magazine pile and get to it when I catch up on my National Geographic issues.
If you don't believe me, and you think your time is best served arguing with those very responsive cell phone companies, rather than make a quick inquiry to be sure.......then be my guest.
I will keep my eye open for your expense report as well as your dispute on the FCC website.

Nice personal attack, Mark. But (sticking to the argument) it's really up to you to prove the positive, not for me to disprove the negative. You are the one claiming you can be charged for roaming fees if your phone just happens to be on, even if you don't answer the call.
So I'm guessing you could provide a *SPECIFIC* example of a time when you were charged for roaming when your phone was in fact on but not answered. Right? Which carrier? What was the charge? Did you call the carrier and see if the charge was legit or just a mistake?
(And let's stick to the 21st century, not counting the early days of analog cellular phones when they cost over a hundred dollars a month and roaming was a much bigger deal.)

Sarah,
Isn't it fun how quickly a simple question can devolve into an argument? If there's anything to be gained from the back-and-forth, it's thins -- just make sure you choose a cell phone company with NATIONAL coverage. I hate to plug Verizon, but they do cover you anywhere in the U.S. You are either on their network, or you have no signal. No roaming charges. The easy way to make sure you have this is easy: Before you sign up for the plan, just ask point blank: "Do you charge for roaming ANYWHERE in the United States?" The only acceptable answer, in my opinion, is NO.
