Hello and welcome to Android Forums Suziegirl14! :)

To put it simply, Packet Data is a technology for transferring data quickly by breaking it up into little, "packets", and sending those packets very quickly and re-assembling them the other end. In a nutshell, it makes for faster data transfer.

Roaming is when you leave, for whatever reason, your home network and connect to another network that may incur extra/higher charges. For instance, going abroad you may be directed to link to your home operators partner network or, if at home, and you go out of signal, your operator may have an agreement with another operator.

Hope this helps.
