Connecting to Mobile Networks

configured to use your provider's mobile networks for voice calls
and for transmitting data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.

To disable data when roaming

carriers' mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered
by your carrier's networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if
your cell plan doesn't include data roaming.
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu Key
2. Touch Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks .
3. Touch Data roaming to remove the checkmark from the box.
With Data roaming unchecked, you can still transmit data
with a Wi-Fi connection.
