Roaming

When placing calls while outside of your Edge Wireless Rate Plan Area, additional charges will apply. For calls placed within your Rate Plan Area, you are not billed for roaming although your handset's display may say "roaming." When placing or receiving calls while outside your Rate Plan Area, you are billed for roaming.

Your Rate Plan Area

Your Rate Plan Area depends on the type of plan you have, and the area where you subscribed for Edge Wireless service. Edge Wireless has Local, Western and National plans. Each of these different types of plans has a different Rate Plan Area. For the exact boundaries of your Rate Plan Area, please contact Customer Care.

Home Area Display

Your phone will usually display the word "Edge Wireless" if you are on the Edge Wireless Network. Even if your phone displays "Edge Wireless," this does not mean you are within your Rate Plan Area.

Roaming Indicator

Your phone may indicate that you are roaming if you are not on the Edge Wireless Network. Your charges will depend on your Rate Plan Area, not the phone's display.

Note:

Your phone will not always accurately indicate when you are roaming. It is important to know your Rate Plan Area to avoid roaming charges.

Placing and Receiving Calls While Roaming

Placing calls while roaming is easy. Simply place the call as you would any regular long distance call. It is likely that you will be required to dial ten digits for all calls placed while roaming on another carrier's network, whether the call is local or long distance.

While you are roaming, a caller needs only to dial your wireless number to reach you. All calls you place or receive while roaming are subject to roaming charges depending on your rate plan. Calls placed while roaming are subject to appropriate long distance toll charges and/or applicable taxes.
