Save on data roaming costs

You can cut data roaming costs and save on your phone bills by changing mobile data settings.
To use the optimal connection method, change the WLAN and Cellular networks 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.
Using a WLAN connection is generally faster and less expensive than using a mobile data
connection. If both WLAN and mobile data connections are available, your phone uses the
WLAN connection.
Connect to a WLAN network
1. Tap Settings > WLAN.
2. Make sure WLAN networking is switched to On.
3. Select the connection you want to use.
Close the mobile data connection
Tap Settings > Airplane & more, and switch Cellular data off.
