Roaming
Hi Currently in Tenerife. How do I use my data WiFi is off mobile data is on. Do I need to turn roaming on even though it says might incur significant charges. Probably dumb question but I don’t want any shocks
Roaming mobile data in Tenerife will come out of your SMARTY plan's allowance, subject to a monthly limit of 12GB.
To use mobile data while roaming, you need to setup your phone as per the following instructions:

Hi sorry to ask a silly question I have already set up roaming as per instruction But do I need to turn on Data roaming on my if yes which of the three options do I select. travelling to Spain in a few days
Disable
National roaming only
All network
Thanks
gavinmc_1697416 my iPhone doesn't show those options, but disable will presumably stop mobile data altogether. National roaming I guess will only allow you to move around in this country. I would have thought all network is the setting to allow you to link to any network overseas.
Can you check this in the phone's instruction manual or on the manufacturer's website?

How do I set up roaming - the 8-point set of instructions doesn't seem to apply to me. When I open (1) "Settings", I don't get "Wireless and Networks" or "Connections" - I get "Other wireless connections". Step (2) is to tap "more", then (3) "Open mobile network and (4) open "access point network. My "other wireless connections" doesn't have the option at step (2) - instead I get stuff like personal hotspots, wireless tethering, NFC, tap & pay,VPN and private DNS - none of which look relevant to roaming. For what it's worth, I have an OPPO A5 2020.
Cheers, Grimbo
