is it possible to join different areas channels?

Is there anyway I can join channels for an area other than the one I'm in?
When I'm at the scarlet monastery I'd like to be able to ask in the ogrimarr
channels if anyone wants to join. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

It's not possible, no. You can turn channels on and off, but what zone that
channel is tuned to is out of your control.

This is not entirely true. I use an english client on a german server and
thus I also use the "chatlocalizer" addon which sees to it that you join
the correct channels. (The channel names are server-localized so on a
German server there is "Ogrimmar - Allgemein" while an english client joins
the "Ogrimmar - General" channel automatically).

It may be due to a bug or other mistake but some days ago I remained in the
Barrens channel while moving all around. So I was always up to date about
how many allies were rading XR even though I was in Ogri, UC and Ashenvale.
I don't know if you need to be in the zone to join the specific channels
but it is certainly possible to see a remote zone's channel (but that may
be bug).

As far as I know, the standard chat channels are merely well-known named
channels and so I presume you can simply join them if you send the correct
command to the server.

I noticed that you can stay in a zone's channels while flying to another
one, so there must *in theory* be a way to do it - if Blizzard let you

A /who on you also keeps reporting you to be in your "from" zone
untill you touch down.

Same for PvP flag (will switch to "on" as soon as you hit the ground).

Hover over your chat area. Right click on the General Tab. go to Join New
Channel, and type the name of the channel. I've joined IF channel from
Duskwood, for example.
