The Roaming Status indicator shows whether you are roaming onto the
network of a service provider other than your own.
When the indicator is off (gray), you are within the local coverage area
of your service provider. When the indicator is on (solid black), you are
in a "preferred" roaming area. When the indicator is blinking, you are
within the coverage area of a CDMA network but not in a "preferred"
roaming area.
Your coverage area and account charges depend upon your service
provider and the type of account you have. There may be surcharges
for roaming service that vary based on whether you are in a preferred or
non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming agreement between
your service provider and the local carrier, you may be unable to
complete calls.
