Verizon broadband wireless modems have a Preferred Roaming List programmed into them. A Preferred Roaming List tells the modem what cellphone towers to look for while roaming or looking for a tower to connect to. This list includes cellphone towers from other network carriers that Verizon has a roaming agreement with. A roaming agreement is a contract that networks make with each other to permit clients from another cellphone company to access or use their cellphone towers.
