Oh okay great! Thanks very much for the clarification! I just always hear people being charged crazy amounts for roaming so avoided it haha
Data isn't working outside subscription zone.

I'm currently traveling, still within Canada and my coverage zone is Canada but my data has not worked since I left the subscription zone. I thought from what I read I'd still have data as long as I was in my coverage zone is there something I'm missing?

Yes.. Roaming is required so your phone can connect to the other networks. You don't get charged anything extra, if you already have the Canada Zone coverage.
I know.. We have all been conditioned to automatically assume ROAMING = $$$$$ 😎

Have you turned on the DATA Roaming option on your Phone ?

I have not because I was under the impression roaming meant charges? Is roaming simply for any time I leave the subscription area?

YUP.. I remember the OLD days, where if you had roaming on, you were charged a fee for each tower triangulation, regardless if you used your phone, or not. It got pricey real quick.
Cheers, enjoy your travels, and be safe.

Yeah I've heard the stories of people thinking they had data coverage and ended up roaming for a week and getting a thousand dollar bill!
Thanks I will!
