TURN MOBILE DATA ON/OFF: Swipe down from the Notification bar, then select the Settings icon.
Note: Mobile data is on by default. Turning off the mobile data will not allow any data to be transferred over the wireless network. Wi-Fi access, voice function, and standard text messaging are still allowed. You can also turn data on/off using your myAT&T account.

Note: When turning Mobile data off, you will receive a prompt. Select OK.
TURN ON/OFF INTERNATIONAL DATA ROAMING: From the DATA USAGE menu, select International Data Roaming.
