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 Settings.
1. Tap Wi-Fi.

2. Make sure Wi-Fi networking is switched to On

3. Select the connection you want to use.
Close a mobile data connection

Tap cellular, and switch Data connection to off.
Stop data roaming

Tap cellular, and switch Data roaming options to don't roam.
