No it wouldn't, because that's not the only area your plan covers. We all acknowledge that we are averse to limits of any kind (hence unlimited calling, even if we only ever use a couple hours a month!), and that includes area restrictions.

Imagine if your cell phone required that you pay some outrageous roaming fee or get a special temporary pre-paid package if you drove out of NYC into NJ.

Edit: Typo.

I would take an LA only plan if it were cheap. I think a lot of people would. And why do roaming fees have to be outrageous? How about reasonable ones?

Or driving from Seattle to say, Vancouver, BC? That would be crazy if you had to pay a roaming fee.
