Anna, I do not know what a "cordless cell phone" is.
If you mean a cell phone, it is on a Network, such as AT&T or Verizon.
"Roaming" usually means you are outside of the native area of the phone, either far from where you were when you activated the phone, or perhaps you are in a "dead spot" wherever you are currently, such as in a parking garage, out in the deep woods, etc.
Is the cell phone's phone number the exact same Area Code of where you live?
Have you changed Carriers, i.e. from Verizon to (ugh) Sprint?
Have you (or anyone else) changed the SIM card?
Are you making calls from a place that might be blocking the signal from the Cell tower?
Are you in a city or in a rural area.
"Roaming" indicates your phone thinks it is outside the area you subscribed to.
Roaming almost always is more expensive, so find out what is going on.

Call sprint and ask them to flag you for a PRL update. Then dial *2 and it will automatically update.

I checked in the Katana II menu and there is no option to update the PRL

My cordless telkomphone show a roaming warning when dialing a no is that normal can't connect if I don't say yes ?

Telkom coverage is very spotty.
You may simply be outside a primary area of reception.
You CAN say Yes to roaming, BUT it is much more expensive to use your phone when you are Roaming.

My cordless phone show roaming on when I contact a number and ask if I want to continue with call is that normal

its okay, seems that someone have mis-changed your phone setting, go to setting & check call menu & disable the roaming feature, no worries from the warning, as long as you are using a landline, and roaming is just active in phone menu but not in network operator

How do I change billing to different credit card, and can I make calls from Europe while using my Consumer Cellular card?

FIXYA unpaid volunteers cannot arrange your cellphone or credit cards.

It appears you are asking about cell phone calling but I may have misunderstood your question.

Call Consumer Cellular Customer Support toll free at
(888) 345-5509

https://www.consumercellular.com/Help/international-rates/roaming
You can use your Consumer Cellular service when traveling outside the U.S. by enabling international roaming. The countries where our service can be used are listed here.
Consumer Cellular utilizes multiple network providers. The network provider your specific cellular service uses determines international roaming availability. To confirm your international roaming options, contact Customer Support at (888) 345-5509. We recommend doing so at least two weeks before leaving the U.S.
On some networks with Consumer Cellular, usage incurred from the countries listed will be billed at international roaming rates of $0.30 per talk minute, $0.10 per text message, and $0.25 per MB of data usage. On other networks with Consumer Cellular, those costs can be much higher, or international roaming may not be available. Be aware that when using your phone internationally, charges can add up, so it is always best to use on a more limited basis. For your protection, service will be disabled once we have received billing records showing $50 in international roaming charges has been incurred on your account during a billing period (this includes calls, text messages, and web data). Due to delays in receiving billing records, your charges will likely have exceeded $50 when international access is disabled.

What is data roaming

Data roaming is simply cellular internet data but using out of your country. For ex. when you go on holidays to Spain you can use cellular internet from roaming. Roaming is for calls and sms too. And important thing is that roaming is much more expensive then normal in your country

My att cellphone only rings 4 times before voicemail

If the problem is with an AT&T cellphone you will need to call them or go log in online to change that feature, however if it is with a Uniden Cordless Phone (the product this question is linked to) the directions below found in their manual should help:

Uniden Cordless Phone
From the base
1) Press [clock/menu] three times. The base displays the current number of rings (2, 4, 6, or TS for toll saver) and announces the setting.
2) Press [>>/select] or [<</select] until the desired ring time appears.
3) Press [set]. A confirmation tone sounds, and the answering machine announces the new ring time.

From the handset
1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RING TIME submenu.
2) Move the cursor to select a Ring Time (2 TIMES, 4 TIMES, 6 TIMES or TOLL SAVER).
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

Hope this is of help

I cannot send or recieve calls on my phone, unless its in roaming

You may not have coverage in your area unless your roaming, call your cellphone carrier and ask if you have service at the location! if you do you may have an issue on your carriers end, call tech support and ask whats going on.
If you can make calls whilst roaming, there should be no reason you can't when on your normal carrier.

The roaming on my phone won't come off, I am at home, and the roaming is never on here. It won't let me text or call anyone.

go to your recent call history. at top of screen, right above where you would normally type in number to call, it will show line 1(your number or line 2( 000 0000 1234). If it says line2, use ur scroll ball to go up to line 2, push in track ball, change to line 1, should be working after that
