Roaming
Roaming is the ability for a mobile phone user to make and receive calls, send and receive data, or access other services while traveling outside of their home network coverage area. This allows users to stay connected even when they are in a different country or region.
How Roaming Works
When a user travels outside of their home network coverage area, their phone automatically connects to a partner network in the visited country. The user's home network provider then charges the user for the services used while roaming, often at a higher rate than what they would pay for the same services at home.
Benefits of Roaming
Roaming allows users to stay in touch with family, friends, and colleagues while traveling abroad without having to purchase a local SIM card or phone. It also enables users to access the internet, use social media, and navigate using GPS services while in a foreign country.
Overall, roaming provides convenience and connectivity for mobile phone users who travel frequently or for extended periods of time.
