GSM Roaming and Coverage Maps

Home >  GSM Roaming and Coverage Maps



Roaming is defined as the ability for a cellular customer to automatically make and receive voice calls, send and receive data, or access other services when travelling outside the geographical coverage area of the home network, by means of using a visited network.

It is technically supported by mobility management, authentication and billing procedures.


If the visited network is in the same country as the home network, this is known as National Roaming. If the visited network is outside the home country, this is known as International Roaming(the term Global Roaming has also been used).


If the visited network operates on a different technical standard than the home network, this is known as Inter-standard roaming.
