AT&T Wireless has eliminated all roaming fees entirely if you're on the "nationwide" plan.. meaning you can use your phone just about anywhere in the United States (including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) without paying anything extra. cool.
I think AT&T were the only one that defined roaming as not being in your "native" geography. Nearly everyone else defines it as going outside their network (ie. going on the Cingular network using a Sprint phone.)
Who has the best GSM 1900 MHz coverage in California, T-Mobile or Cingular? If you have the T610, you're only using the 1900 MHz band, so you should know if the Cingular/AT&T coverage is good. If you have the T616, on the other hand, you're probably mostly using the 850 MHz band. T-mobile has a good 1900 network, while Cingular has good 850 coverage and fairly good 1900 coverage. I'm bringing my European 900/1800/1900 MHz K700 (http://www.sonyericsson.com/k700) phone to the States, so I need good 1900 MHz coverage. I'm gonna buy a pre-paid Cingular or T-Mobile card, so I need to know which card to get. (Yes, the K700 rocks!!!)
