Cell phones companies have geographic service areas that are outlined in the plan. This is considered your "home" area. If you leave that area, you are "roaming" and the phone charges will most likely be more.
Look carefully at the service area when selecting a phone plan! Compare the area to where you will likely use the phone. If you travel a lot, you would want a larger "home" area, or a nationwide plan that does not charge extra for roaming! If you are going to stay within the home area, you do not need to worry about it.

What Does Roaming Mean

Roaming - The ability to use your cellular phone outside your usual service area – when traveling outside of the "home" service area defined by a service provider. Higher per-minute rates are usually charged for calls made or received while roaming. Long distance rates and a daily access fee may also apply.

It means you are out of your service area and your phone is trying to find a source of connection to its satellite. (cell tower)
