Default Roaming question

I have the unlimited minutes, data and text plan with Tmobile on my 8900. If I'm in the US and get on another carriers signal and/or am "roaming" would I ever get charged for this? Main reason I ask is last weekend I went and climbed a 14er (14,000+ ft in altitude peak) and when I got to the top I got a signal that allowed me voice and data. I can't remember what network I was on...some obscure one I hadn't heard of before....anyway, is that something Tmobile would charge me extra for? Or as long as I'm in the US and I can connect is that included in my plan?

Nope, you won't get hit with roaming charges while you're in the US.

If you're able to roam on a network, it's because T-Mobile has roaming agreements with them. You'll never be charged for roaming in the US. T-Mobile even says that on their site.

I roam a lot of the time when I'm at college...either on AT&T or Cellular One or something. I've never been charged.

Cool thanks. I thought that was the case but wanted to verify it before I started going crazy using my phone in places outside the regular Tmobile coverage area. Guess I can check my email and voicemail on top of the mountains without worrying how much it's gonna cost! hahahah
