no roaming on cingular
last time I went to the suncom store to pay a bill, I was talking to the associate about the change, and she said that when the whole shabang is over that Cingular will not charge for roaming, or that roaming wont even be in the vocabulary, unless you up and travel to say, Istanbul or where ever, since Cingular coverage will be so big, (at that point, she did some kind of funny face and her eyes bulged out, as to refrence the hugeness of the company).
is that true?
is that true?

Well the term roaming won't be in the vocabulary, but the charges will be there.Roaming means you are on another carriers network.Cingular owns the entire GSM network, they rent tower space to other carriers, so the other carriers name may come up on the screen.
Now with being said, if you are on a Region(local) plan, and you go out of your region coverage area, you will charged the rates for traveling out of the area, same fees that were charged for roaming-but it won't the term roaming on the bill.
The only way to be not assessed those fees is being on a national plan, since then you pay to use your phone anywhere in the nation, and the region only allows you to use your phone without fees in your regional area!
