Simple; I *NEVER* have to roam with my Verizon phone. I had to frequently
roam when I was with Sprint.
You make a big deal about roaming, which indicates that coverage from Sprint
sucks where you are (as it does in mist places).
So you admit that you are using other carrier's signals and seem to think
that it makes your phone better because you have to
roam.

For your information, Verizon phones roam just fine. Like your phone, you
have to set them to do so. You continue to falsely claim
that Verizon phones will not roam, which is completely false.
