AT&T is one of the most recognizable wireless carriers throughout the United States and boasts many innovative mobile devices such as the iPhone. However, its service can become scarce in some areas. Usually, when this occurs, AT&T automatically routes your cell phone signal to another wireless carrier's tower with better signal strength. This is called roaming. If you would like to update the roaming capabilities on your mobile phone, you will need to enable this service and update your phone's connection.
