inclusive roaming

Inclusive roaming is a plan feature in which mobile use on a network outside the home network in specified destinations is charged as part of the customer’s existing plan allowance instead of as an additional roaming fee.

In plain English

When a mobile plan includes this feature, using mobile service on another network away from the home network can come out of the allowance already in the plan. That applies only in destinations the plan specifies. It means that use is not billed as a separate roaming charge.

In context

Here, "inclusive roaming" labels roaming in specified destinations that is charged against the plan's existing allowance instead of as a separate roaming fee.
