Have you ever gotten hit with roaming when you did not expect it?
What did you do about it?
How much was the amount?

It hasn't happened lately, but in the past when I traveled further north I had to be very careful when near the Canadian border. If the signal jumped to a tower on the other side of the border (regardless that I was still on the US side) it could mean billing trouble. In my experience, if you can prove that you did not cross the border (produce a hotel bill, or a restaurant bill, or something that shows your physical location) the phone company will waive the roaming fee(s).
I've always purchased "national" plans, so I've never had to worry about state-to-state roaming or regional roaming.

nope, I would be unhappy, to say the least, unless I was forewarned.

No. At least not that I know of.

a long time ago. Not with the phone plan we have now. The bill is the same every month, no matter how much data or minutes I use.

I have my phone set not to roam - so it never happens.

My phone never roams.

Nope, we use prepaid and don't really travel so we don't wind up "roaming".
I used to have a prepaid that would take twice the minutes if it was "roaming" though and I hated it.

I knew roaming charges still existed, but I didn't realize people still had trouble with them. I'm lucky that I haven't been in a roaming spot in a long time. Back in the olden days of cell phones though I got whacked a few times.
