i'm going oversea shortly and want to know what settings i should be modifying so that i don't get any crazy phone or data charges while i'm overseas.
Recommendations would be fantastic.
i only need to phone to be able to receive and make voice calls and sms's occasionally. i dont need to have internet on the move or anything similar.
put your phone in a box.
Leave that box at home.
Go overseas.
No OS charges.
any more practical suggestions?
Settings -> General -> Network -> Data Roaming "Off".
The rest should be fine, as far as i'm aware. You will have network coverage via 3rd party carriers, so you will still be subject to over-seas rates.
At least that's what the Telstra guys told me when I asked about my iphone and going overseas.
