On my way home today I tried calling at my usual spot along the way,
but the call did not go through. The Bluetooth screen in the car had
a message about the phone connection. I pulled out my phone and it
had on the screen, a message reading

"no carrier available, emergency calls only"

I have no idea if it would work or not.



I travel a lot and have never seen that. Maybe you have some sort of
limited plan that doesn't include roaming onto other carriers except for
911?

I have seem a similar message (from an AT&T phone). Apparently, the only
cell tower it could connect to belongs to a different company that won't
accept connections from AT&T.


That sounds like what I described. Some plans (especially those big box
mart deals) will only work on the native carrier because it costs more
to roam onto another carrier.
