I would call Alltel (don't go to the store, call the 800 # and get an operator) and tell them how you're roaming at home and you would like them to tell you how to fix it.
My first digital cell phone did that, and I was sick about it. My analog didn't do that. Called Alltel and after going back and forth with the girl, she told me some numbers to punch in, and it stopped roaming in my local area. By "back and forth" I mean the girl tried to tell me the digital phones had more capabilities. I said "yes, it has more capabilities to charge me."
She finally told me how to stop the roaming at home after she saw I was not going to be snowed about "more capabilities."
Don't know for sure if that will fix your problem, but it's worth a ...

Well there's a couple of reasons why digital is better. Is Digital Only better than Tri-Mode? Well no...one can ONLY do digital and the other can do both.
Keep this in mind tho...
As of February 18, 2008...the Analog network...ALL of it...is being shut down. Completely. This is by mandate of the FCC. Your analog phones will not work. Your Tri-Mode phones will be obsolete.
Also keep this in mind...
Analog phones can only connect to one tower at a time. This means that it's easier to lose connection while travelling, and the analog signal is subject to more static and causes more static, and you get that audible *click* when switching towers. A digital signal is typically connected to multiple towers at a time and allows fo...

My roaming issue had to do with however the Alltel rep in the store set up my first digital cell phone. Suddenly I had all this crazy stuff on my bill - roaming charges for Dallas, it was always Dallas, and I was no where near Dallas. I was 80 miles east of Dallas at all times. Suddenly my bill was a long list of calls, many more calls than I was actually making. (And no, no one else was using my phone) After two bills of this mess I called Alltel. The Alltel operator finally told me to punch in some numbers. She said that would fix it. And it did.
My bill went back to looking like my normal cell phone bill. Just the calls I had actually made. And no roaming charges whatsoever.
I've changed phones since then, but I bought it ...
