Verizon still operates Roamer Access Numbers here in the Seattle area, and throughout the Pacific Northwest. I'm curious whether incoming calls placed through these numbers are considered Mobile to Mobile calls. Does anyone know?

I haven't heard of the calls being rated as M2M, but, if both callers on America's Choice plans with National M2M minutes, I wouldn't see why they wouldn't be billed as M2M since the roamer access numbers are just basically like call forwarding, which forwards the call to your cellular phone.

The scenario I'm curious about relates to *incoming* calls.

I have 1000 MTM minutes I use perhaps 10 of each month, if that. I have 300 peak minutes. Most of my peak usage is incoming calls, and many of these callers are my friends (who usually call at about 7:40PM... grr...).

So, if I train these folks to dial my mobile number via the Seattle roamer access number, would the incoming call be considered MTM or just a normal incoming call? If the former, then I've just added ~1000 minutes (which I normally never use) to my peak usage (presuming, of course, I'm physically located in the Seattle area--FMR won't, I don't think, work through a roamer access number). Granted, my mom isn't going to call me this way, but I can train my geek friends to do so. You know, the geek friends who I all helped get signed up with Sprint on a very attractive price plan with unlimited mobile to mobile minutes, who keep forgetting that I mostly use Verizon now (my one remaining Sprint handset bills me for every minute of usage, no matter whom I'm calling).

I've seen calls listed under "Roaming" on a bill but billed as a free mobile to mobile call. HEH.
