‪How To Avoid iPhone Data Roaming Charges

2m read
·Nov 3, 2024

Hey guys, this is Matt. Kids 101, and today I'm gonna be making a video on how to avoid data roaming when visiting new countries.

So I just came back from France, and I came back with $0 for data roaming fee. My mom, she came back with like over $500, but she was very careful not to use the Internet, not to do anything. So basically, when you go to another country, even if you get an email, even if you put your phone on airplane mode, it will charge you because you're using data roaming.

So if you want to avoid getting any charges at all, you have to do exactly what I'm about to show you. So on your phone, hold on, let me just get my phone unlocked.

Okay, so on your phone, you're gonna want to go to settings right there. Alright, and then you'll see airplane mode. It's not airplane mode. You might want to turn airplane mode on when you're on an airplane, but that's not what's gonna keep you from having to pay data fees.

Alright, and then you're gonna want to go to general right there. General, okay? And from general, you should see something called network right there. Go to that. I can tap on that properly.

Alright, go to network. There'll be a bunch of settings, like if you want to use 3G, a bunch of other settings. Don't worry about those. The only one you want to worry about if you don't want to pay data roaming fees is data roaming. Turn that off.

Basically, what that does is it keeps you from using other networks. When it keeps you from using other networks, everything I would be doing normally on AT&T works fine. I can make calls, I can receive emails, anything, but what that I want that uses my data plan.

But once I'm going to another country, like let's say I go, I went to France. Oh, if I go to France, it's not going to use France's Orange network or whatever. It just, it's just not going to connect to it because that setting is off—don't connect to it.

So if you want to completely avoid data roaming charges, make sure you turn that setting off. I hope this was helpful to you, especially I know some people, there's stories of people getting charged thousands of dollars just because they went to another country. They didn't even use their phone. I don't know what.

Well hopefully, this saves you a lot of money. And yeah, thanks for watching!
