AC1 and/or AC2

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Under AC-I there were certain areas where roaming charges applied (like out
in the boondocks of Arizona and Oregon to name a few). If you made or
received calls in those areas, a 69 cent per minute roaming charge applied.

Under AC-II, about half of those boondock areas are now part of your home
area, and there is no roaming charge for making or receiving calls there.
However, the other half of those boondock areas have now been designated "no
service", so you can't receive or make calls from those locations, even if
you are willing to pay a 69 cent per minute roaming fee.

Like you, I stick pretty close to home and rarely go through those boondock
areas. However, on the off chance that I may go there some day, I am
staying with AC-1, just to ensure I have service capabilities. When NSW
becomes AC-III at no extra charge, then I'll switch over. <G>

Another item as well once you go to AC2 you cannot return to AC1, and all
new customers are automatically on AC2 they don't have an AC1 option.
