Some of it has to do with mergers and acquisitions and sharing agreements. NOt everybody can have their own tower so there are some sharing agreements between providers. Also recent mergers and acquisitions have expanded "local" coverage, but the system does not always reflect that it is your specific provider, hence the seemingly strange behavior indicating roaming when you are not actually roaming.

The past two weeks I have noticed that a triangle flashes over the cell phone symbol showing my cell phone bluetooth connection when I am driving on certain sections of the NY Thruway. The phone works fine when this is occuring. Does anyone know what this indicates?
Apparently, if your services are out of date, the triangle indicates that. The Roadside Assist selection options on the I-Drive are different after year one, depending on whether you renewed that subscription.
