Turn international data on or off

From the Mobile network screen, press the navigation keys to highlight the International Data Roaming switch, then press the Select button to enable or disable.

Note: Data roaming is off by default. Enabling Data roaming will allow the device to attach to foreign wireless network signals when available. International roaming charges will apply. This setting does not apply to voice access, which requires additional provisioning for usage on international networks. To learn more, visit the AT&T International website.
