BTW the phone does not roam to other carriers networks when out of range, T-mobile suggested I get a coverage map! The T-Mobile G1 support team told me the phone was designed to work this way. They are aware that this is how the phone works. You better check your info. I am not talking about data roaming , I am talking about voice calls only.
