HOW TO MANAGE YOUR DATA ON APPLE IPHONE WHEN TRAVELLING ABROAD

This instruction is for ios7 of Apple iphone:

The best thing to do is to turn the Cellular data OFF when you are not using internet and turn the Celular dat ON only when you need to use internet.However you will be able to use phone and sms when cellular data is turned off.



1.Turn Data Roaming to OFF
Go to Settings - Cellular
Turn Data Roaming to OFF




When you switch you phone ON overseas, you will be prompted to switch Data Roaming ON. Please do not turn it ON leave it OFF.
If you choose to turn on data roaming, your phone will continue to check for emails and receive software updates and automatic notifications - all of which will incur a data charge.

2. Turn Location Services OFF

Go to Settings - Privacy - Location Services - Swipe to Turn OFF

 


3. Turning your email notification OFF while overseas
Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down and tap on 'Fetch New Data'. Swipe to turn push Off.


4. Turning OFF notifications from other apps (eg. facebook)
Turning off notifications from each app is recomended as it will continue to receive software updates and automatic notifications. The setting for each app is different. Here we are taking an example of facebook app.
Tap on facebook app - Tap on More - Tap on Account Settings - Tap on Notifications - Turn notifications OFF 
Repeat this on each app.

    Here i wish to add some additional information about mobile roaming.
    If you need to stop Roaming phone signal while visiting abroad,You should keep in mind the following instructions
    1.Turn your voicemail off
    2.Just switch Data Roaming off with a help of your service provider.
    3.Try to access network through Wi-Fi while visiting abroad.
    4.You can also avoid roaming by use the local carrier sim card,which is available in that country.
    Before put local carrier,Make sure your phone is unlocked or not.If it's restricted by some network,try to unlock your phone using Unlock-Zone.com I hope it will be very useful to you.
