roaming charges
Mobile network surcharges
Roaming charges are fees mobile carriers impose when you use your phone outside your home network's coverage area, especially internationally.
Before widespread roaming agreements, travelers faced steep per-minute rates for calls and texts abroad: I turned off data roaming to avoid charges.
Many carriers now include roaming in plans, though the term persists from an era of expensive surprises.
