Re: When down, could they allow roaming

AT&T (Cingular) Killed the roaming ability of my old GSM/Gait phones years ago. Seems that they had a whole bunch of "nationwide no roaming" accounts like mine, and got tired of eating the costs. It is possible in certain areas, if your phone is "provisioned" to do so.

AT&T and Verizon use different technologies, that is why roaming won't work between the two.

Your at&t handset would need to be able to find another GSM provider to be able to roam.

My AT&T cell phone service has been down for two days because local cell phone tower is damaged. Being in a major city, could AT&T allow users to roam onto other networks, e.g., Verizon, until the tower is fixed? I am curious because if I did have my copper line, I would have no phone service.

Thanks
