This is basically true, yes. Which would suit me fir to overlay all
three
carriers coverage maps to make my usable-area map.
  The idea is that when you are roaming, be it local or internationl,
you
pay a surcharge on the call. It works fine for international roaming.
 This is what has been happening in the US for 10 years or so. 
  If there was a company who just covered Melbourne, then you would not
have 
to pay for them to roll out country towers when you pay your monthly
bill,
you only pay extra when you roam, but it might be too late now, although
there is a lot of area still to cover, and when the new 1880MHZ PCN
lands
there might be such a thing.

Regrads
Scott.
