How Does Roaming Work ? ? ?

I Am On Orange Here In The UK, So If I Go To Spain And Turn My Phone On When I Get Off The Airplane And It Says Im On Movistar

Does That Then Mean I Am On Movistar (but will go back to orange in the uk) And WIll Get Charged Like A Normal Movistar PAYG Customer Or Does It Work Differently ?

Answers:

1your cellphone is constantly sending out confirmation signals to the nearest base station (in one of them big communication towels), even when you are not calling anyone. and the towel's base stations are operated by different cellular providers. each base station controls a certain area's cellular communication, the area is called a cell. so when you are in another company's base station's cell, you are in their service area. when you make a call in their cell, your call goes to their base station, then to their remote switch station, then they connect your call. then you are roaming. depends on the your cellular provider and your service plan, you might have free roaming, or you might not
