My cell phone is ‘local’ (no roaming, no long distance) in most of the world, I can switch between several phone numbers in a couple of key strokes, or switch between most cell providers automatically or manually, again with a few key strokes.
I confess that I don't know, and have never heard of, how to switch the DW's Verizon based smartphone or my Verizon based flip phone to another network automatically or manullly for making calls, sending texts, or accessing the Internet.
Probably most Verizon customers don't how to do that either. When our phones have "no bars", we assume that means no Verizon cellular access is available ... even though AT&T/Sprint/Etc. cellular signals may be present and strong enough for their customers to access.
In the Western U.S. on RV trips we are often not able get out with our cell phones - and I always assumed that was because of Verizon signal strength. I sure wish our phones could access any provider in those places just in case other providers happened to have strong enough cellular signals there. :(
