    Data Roaming International Charges?

    Data roaming is the phantom menace

    Disabling internet access when abroad should save you money, but Emma Lunn faced an unexpectedly high bill on her return. 02 says the problem is fixed – but is it?

    Think that switching data roaming to "off" on your iPhone while abroad will protect you from expensive overseas data bills? Well, think again. Some O2 users have experienced "phantom roaming" charges, despite turning off the data roaming function before they leave the UK.

    Re: Data Roaming International Charges?

    Interesting stuff 5corpio, thanks for the post.

    I have a iPhone on a 02 contract, I always switch off data roaming facility when over here in the US, up to now I have never had any issues, but now I am aware of a potential problem, I will keep an eye on my bills in future for any unwelcome charges.
