Turn on or off Data Roaming in iPhone



By default, the setting for international data roaming will be in the "OFF" position.
To turn data roaming "ON/OFF" tap on Settings>General>Network>Data Roaming
• – Turning "OFF" data roaming blocks email, browsing, visual voicemail and downloads, but it will
not block text or picture/video messages.
• – When abroad, international roaming rates apply when you send text or picture/video messages.
• – To access audible voicemail when data roaming is “OFF”, tap on Phone>Voicemail. International
roaming voice rates apply.

When using your service outside the U.S., Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands (for either voice or data), 
international roaming rates apply. Your iPhone provides access to email, Visual Voicemail, Web browsing and 
other applications that can use a significant amount of data, so remember-international data roaming can 
get expensive quickly.

Utilize Wi-Fi Instead of 3G/GPRS/EDGE: Wi-Fi is available in many international airports, hotels and
restaurants to browse the web or check email.
• Turn Fetch New Data "OFF": Check email and sync contacts and calendars manually instead of having
the data pushed to your iPhone automatically. This way you can control the flow of data coming to your
iPhone.
To turn off the Auto-Check functionality, tap on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data,
Change Push to "OFF" and select option Fetch Manually.
• Consider Purchasing an International Data Package: Purchasing an international data package can
significantly reduce the cost of using data abroad. AT&T now offers four discount international data
packages. The 20 MB package is $24.99 per month, the 50 MB package is $59.99 per month, 100 MB
package is $119.99 per month, and the 200 MB package is $199.99 per month. See
att.com/worldpackages for details and international roaming rates. To add an international data package,
call 1-800-331-0500.
• Reset the Usage Tracker to Zero: When you arrive overseas access the usage tracker in the general
settings menu & select reset statistics. This will enable you to track your estimated data usage.

To reset Usage Tracker to Zero tap on Settings>General>Usage>Reset Statistics
