    Well, I have GSM, and when I roam on other carriers, it wouldn't show the roaming indicator, just displays the name of the company's tower i'm using.

    I think your phone may display digital roaming instead of the roaming triangle. Does the triangle work at other times?

    Throughout the country Verizon's features such as Voicemail may or may not work when your phone is using the network of a Verizon roaming partner. In the scenario you described you should not be charged for a call but Verizon's features are not available to you on its extended network. They will be when your screen says Verizon Wireless.

    from VZW themselves:

    "Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. I have received your
    inquiry regarding the coverage area for the wireless account and your roaming signal
    and I am happy to assist you.

    When your phone's roaming indicator is off and/or the banner display reads "Verizon
    Wireless Network," America's Choice home airtime rates apply, and National IN
    Calling is available. Digital features and services are available only when your
    digital indicator is on.

    When the roaming indicator is flashing and/or the banner display reads "Extended
    Network," America's Choice home airtime rates still apply. However, National IN
    Calling and some other features and services may not be available.

    When the roaming indicator is solid and/or the banner display reads "Roaming,"
    roaming is unavailable and calls may not be sent or received."

    The roaming triangle has to be enabled in the firmware. It is possible Verizon disabled it.

    Speaking of roaming, off-topic though, do you guys remember those comercials from I believe it was Virgin Mobile, where the guy has a shock collar that shocks him when the phone starts roaming? :lmao: LMAO. "You're roaming dude, you're roaming" :rotfl:
