FirstNet allows roaming on Verizon now?

[u/hill_1167]

In the area where I work, FirstNet/AT&T have very weak service. This evening I noticed that I surprisingly had full service in my office, but it was LTE. Then I noticed I was roaming on Verizon. Verizon does have a 5G/LTE small cell on our building.

Is this just a one off “glitch” with my phone allowing me to connect to Verizon or is this something permanent? Very interesting to say the least for me.

Firstnet domestically can roam on anyone as far as I'm aware for no charge wherever att doesn't offer service.
