Networks of towers and radio cells work together to spread their signals over a large geographic area. However, sometimes these geographic areas may not be big enough.

Sometimes you may notice that your Mobile Cell goes into roaming mode. Roaming mode is when your phone has to pick up a signal from another company's tower in order to send and receive calls and messages. Be careful with roaming, as sometimes you have to pay a fee to use your phone in these areas.  This one activiity will make or break your decision one of many Wireless Plans.

As you are investigating Wireless Plans, it's wise to check out the reach of those Wireless Plans networks to make sure they include the area you live in or spend a lot of time in. Check out the coverage maps for the Wireless Plans and make sure they cover where you work where you live and where you play and the areas you travel in between. 

Then you will need to do the same for each member of your family or group especially if you decide to get the same Wireless Plans. It's a pre-emptive way to possibly save you from paying extra roaming charges.
