roamControlType Simple Type

Describes how the profile controls roaming.

There are two possible roam registration states:

• Partner: registered on a network closely affiliated with the home network
• Non-partner: registered on a network that is not closely affiliated with the home network

The precise meaning of "partner" varies based upon the network, but it represents a closer relationship with more favorable rates than a non-partner. This could be the case if a regionally-based operator has a business arrangement to use another operator’s radio access network outside of its home area. It could also represent the difference between roaming within a region (e.g., EU) and outside of it.

Note that roamApplicabilityType is a more expressive attribute than roamControlType, and a profile should use either roamControlType or roamApplicabilityType, but not both. (If a profile uses both, then both are applied. The result is the intersection of the two.)
