# What is a roaming charge?

What is a roaming charge?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- The term **'roaming charges'** refers to the extra fees charged by mobile networks when you use your phone outside of the United States.
- When you arrive in another country and your phone is identified by a local network, you are considered to be roaming.
- You may have to pay more to make calls, send texts, and use mobile data depending on the region you're visiting and your network's roaming policies.
- Since then, consumer awareness of the dangers of roaming charges has grown, with customers becoming more aware of the additional costs connected with using a phone while travelling.
