In my experience, nationwide, typically just means the continental 48 states, for the most part.

Have any of you experienced or been subjected to a "domestic data
roaming policy"? I am a customer of a carrier who advertises
"Unlimited Nationwide 4G data", but limits their customers to 50MB per
month while traveling in an area they do not have coverage (Alaska,
for example). I've never heard of such a policy in regards to a
"Nationwide" plan.. I thought the entire idea of saying nationwide was
to represent you were covering the ENTIRE NATION.

I believe you will find that any carrier says "Nationwide means where we
have coverage, and unlimited means 'if you're on our towers'."

Cheers,
