1. A method of wirelessly communicating packetized data between a vehicle and a central facility, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a request at a vehicle telematics unit to transmit packetized data;
(b) determining whether the vehicle telematics unit is communicating through a roaming wireless carrier system; and
(c) delaying the transmission of packetized data between the vehicle telematics unit and a central facility until the vehicle telematics unit is no longer communicating through the roaming wireless carrier system.

9. A method of wirelessly communicating packetized data between a vehicle and a central facility, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) placing a call from a central facility to a vehicle telematics unit; (b) identifying a system identification number (SID) of a wireless carrier system currently used by the vehicle telematics unit to communicate via the placed call; (c) determining whether the identified SID is classified as a roaming wireless communication system; and (d) delaying the communication of packetized data between the vehicle telematics unit and the central facility when the identified SID is classified as a roaming wireless communication system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of wirelessly communicating packetized data between a vehicle and a central facility, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) initiating a call from a central facility to a vehicle telematics unit; (b) identifying the system identification number (SID) of a wireless carrier system currently used by the vehicle telematics unit for communication based on the initiated call; (c) determining that the vehicle telematics unit is presently communicating via a roaming wireless carrier system using the identity of the SID; (d) uploading a trigger to the vehicle telematics unit based on step (c) instructing the vehicle telematics unit to; (d1) determine that the vehicle telematics unit is no longer communicating using the roaming wireless carrier system; (d2) placing a telephone call from the vehicle telematics unit to the central facility based on step (d1); and (d3) communicating packetized data between the vehicle telematics unit and the central facility via the call placed from the vehicle telematics unit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
