Data roaming - is it off?!


Hi, I've turned my data off, yet I've received text msgs whilst in Turkey and am worried.ive not actually turned off data roaming. Says no data roaming has been used, so how am I receiving text msgs? Thanks

Did you do this on your handset, in your iD account online (or iD app), or both, @JennyJoanne

Text messages are free to receive anywhere when roaming abroad.

Other network services may be chargeable - however, just set your iD account bill cap to £0 and avoid any out-of-plan charges, whether roaming or not.

Hey there @JennyJoanne, welcome to Community!

 

As @andewhite has kindly mentioned, you need to enable roaming via both your phone’s own settings, and the iD Mobile app/website.

 

I hope that helped, but if you have any further questions, please let us know.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
