Save On Data Roaming Costs - Nokia Lumia 720 User Manual

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 WiFi.
2. Make sure WiFi networking is switched to On
3. Select the connection you want to use.
Close a mobile data connection
Tap mobile network, and switch Data connection to off.
Stop data roaming
Tap mobile network, and switch Data roaming options to don't roam.
Tip: To save on data costs when travelling, 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.
Set mail download to manual
Set your phone to check for new mail less frequently, or even by request only. In every mailbox you
have, tap > settings > sync settings, and change the setting for Download new content.
