Title: iphone data roaming Post by: Luci on Monday, September 6, 2010, 17:22:04 Anyone know what I need to do to ensure I receive no emails or anything whatsoever regarding data when abroad?
I've gone into Settings > General > Network > Data roaming off but last time I went away my emails continued to come through and cost me money (as the data roaming 'off' is set as default on the iphone).

My advice would be to leave the phone in airplane mode unless you need it on to accept calls or texts.

This is not filling me with confidence. I have only just turned my Cellular data off after reading this thread, ive been away 2 weeks now. Title: Re: iphone data roaming Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, September 6, 2010, 18:18:19 You'll be coming home to a hefty bill then!

Title: Re: iphone data roaming Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, September 6, 2010, 18:53:53 I checked it was on the default 'Roaming - Off' setting, and had no trouble... must be luck of the draw.
Title: Re: iphone data roaming Post by: jonny72 on Monday, September 6, 2010, 19:54:52 There is a cap on data roaming charges within the EU of €50 (or £40). To be on the safe side it's worth turning off automatic email downloading when your abroad, then just do it manually when you're on Wifi.
It's criminal what they charge for data roaming in the EU though. In the UK O2 charge no more than £10 for 500Mb of data, yet in the EU it's £3 per Mb even in Spain (and other countries) where O2 have a network as well. Wankers.
