Save on data roaming costs
Looking to reduce your phone bills? You can decrease data roaming costs by modifying your mobile data settings.

Connecting to the internet while roaming, particularly when abroad, can significantly increase data costs. Your network service provider may charge you a fixed fee for data transfer or on a pay-as-you-use basis. To use the most efficient connection method, you can change the Wi-Fi, mobile data, and mail download settings.
Using a Wi-Fi Connection Generally, using a Wi-Fi connection is faster and less expensive than using a mobile data connection. If both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections are available, your phone will use the Wi-Fi connection. To set this up, swipe left on the start screen, and tap ‘Settings’. Then:
