Save on data roaming costs
Want to go easy on your phone bills? You can save on data roaming costs by changing mobile data
settings. Data roaming means using your phone to receive data over networks that your network
service provider doesn't own or operate. Connecting to the internet when roaming, especially when
abroad, can raise data costs substantially. Your network service provider can charge you a fixed fee
for data transfer or on a pay as you use basis. To use the optimal connection method, change the
Wi-Fi, mobile data, and mail download settings.
Using a Wi-Fi connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection.
If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the Wi-Fi connection.
On the start screen, swipe left, and tap
1. Tap Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi networking is switched to On
3. Select the connection you want to use.
Close a mobile data connection
Tap cellular, and switch Data connection to off.
Stop data roaming
Tap cellular, and switch Data roaming options to don't roam.
Tip: To save on data costs when traveling, save new maps to your phone before your journey,
and browse the maps offline. If you're running low on space, you can remove some maps from
your phone.
