Domestic Roaming on SmartLess Mobile

Domestic roaming lets you use another U.S. wireless carrier’s network when SmartLess Mobile coverage isn’t available. This helps you stay connected while traveling within the United States. 

When you’re outside the SmartLess Mobile network, your phone may automatically connect to another U.S. wireless carrier’s network so you can continue making calls, sending texts, and accessing data. 

How domestic roaming works 

Domestic roaming turns on automatically when SmartLess Mobile coverage isn’t available and your device connects to another U.S. wireless network. This helps you stay connected while traveling within the United States or in areas with limited coverage. 

While domestically roaming, calls and SMS use your included domestic roaming allotment, data is available at reduced speeds for basic connectivity and there are no overage charges for domestic roaming. 

What’s included with domestic roaming 

Your plan includes the following domestic roaming allotment per billing cycle: 

  • Talk: 50 minutes 

  • Text: 500 SMS 

  • Data: Available at speeds up to 512 kbps 

Once you’re back in a SmartLess Mobile coverage area, your regular plan services automatically resume.
