Roaming information


If I turned off avion mode on my phone for 5 seconds,  being in Mexico, will I be charged for roaming? Thank you.

Hi there,

If you really need to turn it off, you will only be charged if you send a text message, make a call, answer a call, or use data. You can recieve text messages for free as long as it doesn't require data to do so such as using iMessage or RCS chat would charge you. So if you follow that, you will be fine.

To play it safe, make sure to immedietly turn off your data if you turn off airplane mode to avoid potential small data leakage that may cause a charge. 🙂👍

Do you want to make use of any sort of roaming at all? Removing the roaming add-ons in you self-serve add-ons list would prevent you from connecting at all as well if you don't want to keep your phone to manual network selection.
