Roaming - what does it mean for a Tracfone phone?

[paularose]

I have a Tracfone LG Optimus Dynamic phone that runs on the Verizon network. I read that these phones do not 'roam'. What exactly does roaming mean?

Thank you.

paularose, you're in good wireless hands with us. Your device does have the capability of roaming. Roaming is when your device can make/receive calls in situations when you are temporarily outside of your coverage area. We recommend that you dial *228 and choose option 2 to update the roaming capabilities on your device.
