Do all of these prepaid cell phones having roaming
capabilities when out of your service area such as on a
car vacation?

All the ones I've seen do. Tracfone allows you to roam, but you're
charge 2 "units" per minute, instead of the normal 1 unit/minute.
Similarly, they charge 2 units per minute for long distance calls from
your home service area.
