When the phone is initially programmed it doesn't know anything yet about
systems so the internal counter will show that first call as roaming. You
will not get roaming or other billing for that call.

Good to hear there is one less beeping walkie talkie...

You'll get that on a new phone the first time it's used. Just reset the
roaming minutes and it'll correctly indicate the actual roaming time used
after the initial activation.
