What is roaming?
A wireless computer can “roam” from one access point to another, with the software and hardware maintaining a steady network connection by monitoring the signal strength from in-range access points and locking on to the one with the best quality. Usually this is completely transparent to the user; they are not aware that a different access point is being used from area to area. Some access point configurations require security authentication when swapping access points, usually in the form of a password dialog box. Access points are required to have overlapping wireless areas to achieve this as can be seen in the following diagram: Figure 6: Roaming. A user can move from Area 1 to Area 2 transparently. The Wireless networking hardware automatically swaps to the Access Point with the best signal. Not all access points are capable of being configured to support roaming.
Roaming is the ability to place and receive calls on cellular networks outside the INpulse Rate and Coverage Area. When roaming, your phone will display a roam indicator (indicator varies by phone make and model). The roaming rate for the INpulse Calling Plans is $0.20 per minute (includes airtime and long distance).
Roaming is the ability to place and receive calls on cellular networks outside your home coverage area. Outside the Verizon Wireless EasyPay coverage area, service is not guaranteed. If you are able to place and receive calls while roaming outside the EasyPay coverage area, you will be charged $0.20 per minute. In most areas, simply dial the area code and number for both long distance and local calls. In some areas, you may need to press “1” before the area code and number.
