Do you live or work near a national border, or at the edges of local mobile service that you have to worry about roaming and associated charges being activated?

I'd be curious to learn more about where this happens in the world and if it does with any regularity. i.e., https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy85x9dgndeo

MP Steffan Aquarone says the charges are "alarming" and that people need "clarity and reassurance".

@jtk it was a problem here on the southwest gerrman/france border, but mostly for people actually crossing the border (for work or shopping) nowadays eu roaming is in most contracts and limited by law

@jtk Yes. Victoria, BC, Canada. If we're close to the southern shoreline, this happens with Washington State, just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
