Since upgrading to ios 5.1.1 my iphone 4s will not roam. I am unable to connect to a phone network in Europe (apart from my home network o2 in the UK) but it does work in Africa?
o2 sent me a new sim card but this has not made any difference hence I think the problem may be with ios 5.1.1, any one able to offer any help?
I was traveling in Germany and Italy, and I made sure to set "Data Services While Roaming" to "Off." However, I still did incur data roaming charges. They are really small-- like 15KB/day, but it's nonetheless annoying that my Blackberry Bold 9700 is using data even though I turned it off. I use AT&T. Does anyone know why?
I don't want to be charged for roaming data. I know where the Cellular Data and Roaming options are in Settings, though I don't know which I leave checked and unchecked for best results. I do not want to be charged for roaming data in any way on any app. Do I have to do anything with location services or anything else, also? (And, just to clarify: if I turn off roaming, I can still iMessage for free on Wifi, correct?) I'm using an iPhone 4S with the most current version of iOS 7 as of this post.
I travelled to Colombia recently and in general, had my phone either turned off, or on airplane mode the entire trip. I only used it for one five minute phone call and to listen to music for about five hours accumulated. I was there for about 8 days.
I was told to put the phone on airplane mode, so as to avoid any roaming charges, as my fellow travel companions (who all also owned iPhones), said "that way nothing comes through. No wi-fi, messages, nothing".
Looks like ios4 has a bad bug. Data roaming can occur even when the option for DR is set to off.
First, my prob. Brand new iPhone 4 set up as new. On first arrival in foreign country, emails start to download, can surf safari, even though no wifi and DR set to off. Problem fixed by turning DR on and off again. Now DR blocked as required.
On a 3GS upgraded to ios4. Same initial probs as above butnpeob persists! Phone continues to download data in background! When safari activated, DR-off message appears but data still downloads. Only way to turn off the DR is to change APN settings.
My iPhone 4s has just started doing the same but I'm not overseas! :( first I thought maybe it was some battery hogging App I downloaded so I deleted the a bunch that coincided with drain issue... Still nothing , I was losing about 1% every min while using it even in standbye mode it dropped around 20% in 25 min plus it was getting quite hot in bottom right of phone! So I disabled data roaming and bam it's fine back to normal? but I need data roaming on when I leave wifi connection so this is very annoying. I reset network settings and phone settings drained battery fully did full overnight charge data roming was on by default and it seemed to be fixed. I wanted to test my emails do I turned data roaming off then back on 5 mins later, but then the phone started to heat up again and drain ! I think I will try reset one more time then leave data roaming on by default?
My iphone 4s are getting hot after i on date roaming and drain battery really fast.... I already update my iphone from 5.01 to 5.1, but it wont work...
I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1 I ALWAYS have data roaming turned off as I travel a reasonable amount and don't want the charges. All automatic downloads are also turned off. On a recent holiday to France the phone the phone decided randomly to download my emails at 3pm one Friday afternoon (after we'd been there for almost a week) - this totalled around 3MB and cost me around £10.00 This was the only time the phone did any downloads (it was in my pocket not being used at the time) - so it appears as if randomly for around 10 minutes one wet Friday afternoon the phone decided to ignore the data roaming switch and download my emails (and apparently nothing else). I have read some real horror stories online about this kind of thing but nothing where it just pops on and off.As I travel a reasonable amount I can't afford for this to keep happening.
Im going to the US this summer for a long excursion, i intend to take a large amount of photos on my iphone, i just wondered if i 'places' still worked when 1.data roaming is turned off and 2. if airplane mode was on for obvious reasons i dont want to come back after 3 months and find that i have a phone bill of over a thousand pounds because i left data roaming on.
I'm currently in the US and would like to use WiFi on my 9700. When I crossed the border I changed my "Data services" option to OFF and "While roaming" option to OFF also. I tried turning on the WiFi and connected to a stable WiFi connection but when I try and access the internet, I get a "Data services are disabled. Go to Mobile Network to enable" error. Would changing the "Data services" option to ON allow me to use WiFi only? I don't want to end up with a massive bill by using roaming data.
i was able to log in prior to roaming in Europe andwhilst in Europe, but on return it does not recognise me, i have changed passwords numerous time and also have tried to register another email address, but it just asks to log in with the address assigned to this handset? it recognises me on the website, but from the handset. i have tried the work around on the website, stopping at the full factory reset, as have did this in the past
I have a blackberry curve in mumbai which get deactivated as soon as i am on roaming when i use the SIM on other phone it works but not with Curve i have also inter changed some others SIM into my phone but the result is the same.
Is Bell going to charge me if I use BBM aka. Blackberry Messenger while roaming in the USA or overseas? And is there a way to restrict the data roaming and still use BBM?BTW, I am using a Bold 9700 with the 6 GB BIS plan.
i have a vodafone prepaid connection on my phone . im currently on roaming and while be out of town for more than 2 months . can anyone please advise what apn settings is required . my bbm 399 monthly plan in on but yet im charged for using internet services and customer care is of no help.
I am roaming outside of my normal network. Will this affect my ability to get the update to 2.1?My normal network is O2 UK, I am roaming in Brasil on a number of the local networks (TIM, Oi etc).
upgrading to a 9700 with WiFi under the understanding that I would be able to use push email etc while traveling, solely over WiFi. I tested this at home before leaving, turning off data services but staying connected to UMTS for voice and WiFi for data while I was at the various customer sites. This worked great on arrival in Germany, and then in Switzerland briefly. Then after a battery pull everything went horribly wrong. I couldn't connect anymore, and after much research discovered that my Host Routing Table had reset and that according to the searches I've done there's no mention of this being downloaded via WiFi - you MUST connect to HSPA. So, with much annoyance, I bit the bullet and connected.
i want to know how can i disable All Data transfer and Data roaming on my E72 when i change of country?on my old blackberry , i had the option : Data disable : yes/no
so i check on user manuel that i can use Single mode on network parameter and put it only in GSM . But when i try to use the web or ovi the system ask my to connect my internet and it's work , but i'm always in GSM mode , so i suppose that GSM mode cannot the good option for disable ALL DATA TRAFFIC.
