Moropo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm travelling internationally today and I don't want to incur any roaming charges. What measures should I take? I went on a cruise once and Sprint charged me for some minutes even though I didn't make any calls. Thanks.

kckid Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I put my phone in airplane mode and then only turn Wifi back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Unless I am in the VI or PR I tend to keep my phone in airplane mode too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Your handset actually has a no roaming charge button. It may be on the top or the side, and it is sometimes labeled "Power." AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus1987/lou99 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Why is international roaming so expensive? Is it the international carrier that charges so much or our domestic ones that just want to make $$$$$$$$$$$?

RCM Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I was just in Sault Ste Marie, MI and I made sure that our phones had international roaming voice and data disabled else we would have picked up service from Sault Ste Marie, ON since service is spotty out of town. Worked just fine. A side note: I run Netmonitor so I wanted to log some Canadian BSIDs so I enabled international roaming once. It kicked over to Bell Mobility and I instantly received 2 text messages telling me what the rates were and how to contact Sprint concerning my plan and international roaming. I didn't think the charges were too far out of line with normal a la carte service charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
