							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 Wi-Fi and mobile 
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 Wi-Fi connection is generally 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.
CONNECT TO A WI-FI NETWORK
Tap  Settings  >  Wi-Fi .1. 
Make sure Wi-Fi networking is switched to  On .2. 
Select the connection you want to use.3. 
CLOSE THE MOBILE DATA CONNECTION
Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap  and switch  Mobile data  to  Off .
