How to turn off/on your Data Roaming settings

Most smartphones are capable of automatically connecting to a roaming operator network when you travel abroad. However to avoid getting high bill charges, we recommend turning off this function. You will still be able to make and receive phone calls but will not be able to receive automatic software updates, emails, and instant messages or browse the Internet.
