4. It's trying to run away. Try to think of something that will make it happy.

(Sorry. Actually I have no idea. I thought phones roamed only when they were out of range of their network.)

8. Maybe another phone to keep it company?

That would be my suggestion.

5. My first guess would be the service they connect with is down...

or overloaded. If it goes on too long, call them and see if you can get through.

9. Thing that was weird.....my phone was saying roaming, but I used my husbands phone

and his worked just fine. He has a tracfone as well.

10. Strange. It could be the Law of Inignificant Things Becoming...

Oddly Signicant, but if Tracfone can't, or won't, come up with an answer, just consider yourself lucky you could make the call

11. 2G CDMA networks are shutting down

Verizon just shut down theirs, for example. Your phone may be looking for a compatible network. It's possible you might need to upgrade your phone if it is old. I can't say for sure. I would contact your carrier about it.

12. You haven't been giving enough.

It sees the way others look at their phones, and wants that kind of relationship for itself. It needs validation and recognition of the service it gives you.

In short, roaming is merely a symptom of the state of your relationship. If need be, you should tell it that you just don’t feel the way you did in the past and go buy the latest-and-greatest phone and kindle a new relationship.
