Home only means if you are in an area without reception you won't switch to roaming mode. If you do automatic it will "automatically" switch between 3G or roaming depending on coverage needs.

In the "old" days roaming happened often and a notice would come up that you may incur extra charges due to roaming and using an alternate cellular network. I learned the hard way just how expensive that could be lol.
With Verizon's west coast to east coast network, I can't imagine ever having to use roaming towers in all but the most remote locations.
I chose Home Only instead of Automatic as I am gunshy how you are notified and charged when you may be roaming. I can always change it to auto if I am in a life threatening situation.

Thanks for the information.
To avoid a possible hi roaming data charge I will leave the phone on home only .
Like you say I can always switch it if I need the data mode in area that verizon does not support .
Verizon should warn you about this possible extra charge for data roaming .
This happened or friend of mine who took his phone out of united states .

Well they have the settings to display a "Roaming Banner" when you are roaming. So if you have that checked then you will know when you are roaming. As well you can set it to not use data during roaming, so only phone calls will be used.

My son and I went to Montreal on Tuesday. He has the X, I have the Razr. We both got notifications that roaming data may occur, etc. And a box popped up - the one saying Allow roaming, Allow this trip, Deny. We both said Deny and switched to wireless. His phone was fine from then on, mine kept beeping about once a minute and the stupid box kept popping back up. It was so annoying I finally put it on Airplane. I was checking the archives to see if anyone else had had this problem and found this thread. When I checked my phone, I found that I had Automatic checked and I'm wondering if that was the problem.
Lol...
My reply was in general not directly to Montreal... lol
I'm in Texas, basically our own country everything else is foreign territory. Lol
posted tomorrow using the space time continuum app on my D1...
I have had the same problem with my Droid 3 and the pop up message about "Deny or allow" the roaming. It will automatically disable my roaming even though I have a global data plan. The message will pop up while I'm roaming constantly and is very annoying - has anyone found a way to "accept" global roaming and get rid of the pop up message?
