I am going to Turkey next month and I want to prevent my phone from roaming. I don’t want to be charged for incoming calls or texts. How do I prevent this?

if I disable roaming in my account in the ID mobile app will it prevent my phone latching onto a local Turkish airtime carrier when I’m there?

I want to use only hotel WiFi and data-only calls eg WhatsApp audio or Messenger audio

thanks in advance for any advice or instruction

Just set the bill cap for your iD account to £0 @Michael Hicks
Doing this will prevent any out-of-plan charges while roaming in Turkey. 

Text messages are free to receive when you’re roaming.

Hi @Michael Hicks 

 

I’d recommend the same as @andewhite above, set the bill cap to £0, we won’t charge you anything extra.
