1.11 Save on data roaming costs
Want to save on your phone bills? You can cut 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.
