When at my father's house in Victoria, Canada on Vancouver Island, I can make calls on AT&T across the water from Port Angeles, WA (without Roaming.) Sometimes I get "Call Failed" but for the most part it works. Over in Port Angeles, I noticed my phone saying Roger's from time to time too.
It's over 50 miles across the water to the USA from my father's house, which looks right towards Port Angeles. Lucky for him, the Roger's GSM signal (his carrier) is strong all around Victoria so his phone doesn't roam on AT&T...
And I use the Manual Network Selection on my RAZR V3xx to stay on AT&T signal so I don't inadvertently make a call on Rogers.
