How to disable International Data Roaming

Today I connected to wireless data service from my Samsung Tab from India unintentionally and without being aware of the extremely high cost of such usage.  I got an email alert and estimated charges of $ 81.92 for merely 3.53 MB.   More expensive than GOLD !!!
I was trying to send Verizon an email to disable INTERNATIONAL DATA ACCESS & ROAMING for my Tablet BUT cannot find any Verizon Support email address to contact them.  THATS A SHAME.
I also signed to my account but there is no feature to disable international roaming. 
I am so scarred even to turn on my tab for the fear that the device may automatically try to connect with service providers here in India and incur big charges for me. 

Hi Melissa,
I don't know how the device/service started communicating via 3G when the icon on the Samsung Galaxy Tab was showing as Wi-Fi connection.  I am having this device/service from Verizon for over 3 years now & been using a lot & had no similar incident when using in the US.  
For the fear of unintended 3G connectivity & the charges there-off, I have completely stopped the usage of my Samsung Tab in India.  It has been TURNED OFF since 10/09/13.    I will check to see if I can find Deny Data Roaming on my Samsung Galaxy Device.  I did not find any such feature on my Verizon web account.
As, I will be back in the US by 10/28/13 -  it does not make much sense to change plans for such a short time.  However,  I would like to know if the charges can be discounted or partially waived on a one time basis and to be considered in the $ 25 / 100 MB international data package instead of $ 81.92 charged at this time.
Thank you.

  • AT&T service iPhone International Data Roaming - excessive fees

    For info:
    I mailed below message to AT&T Customer care: [email protected]
    Am sure for many international travelers this will be a nice customer service improvement.
    Send them a mail as well. It may help all of us traveling overseas.
    "I do have following concerns on AT&T's iPhone International Data roaming service.
    I voiced them as well to your service center reps.
    The feature is a nice useful service.
    But I encountered a number of flaws:
    - Long time for service calls.
    - Misrepresentation of costs (overcharge of 150%), and
    - Resulting in excessive costs.
    I am fully aware of all stories on international calls/data roaming with iPhone (ref suggestions on AT&T FAQ)
    No need to fill me in on that.
    Here is what happened:
    - before a month of overseas travel (mid Dec - mid Jan), I had the service activated:
    it took me 1/2 hr waiting at the phone before I got to speak a AT&T service rep.
    - I was told the service will be charged pro rata (ie days of usage) and for a month travel that would be 25 USD.
    and I had to call back upon return to disactivate/cancel service.
    - Upon return I called back AT&T service center , again a long on hold waiting time,
    and I was told I needed to wait for my next invoice statement to see the my completed overseas period on the bill, and could only cancel the service then.
    - This week I received this next statement, called back AT&T service center , again a long on hold waiting time,
    and now I was told the service would be cancelled only as from this very day, and no retroactive cancellation.
    I was told the reason is to allow bills from overseas carriers to be taken into account for the invoicing and the international feature.
    In other words, if I had cancelled immediately upon return, overseas charges booked into my bill after my cancellation call (but incurred before) would be hitting me at full charge.
    Thanks for doing so, but all this results in a 2.5 months service period for this feature, while I had only wished a 1 month service period and was told I would incur only a 1 month service charge !
    A number of suggestions,
    - make the feature true pro rata charges, now it is a misrepresentation and an excessive overcharge.
    - AT&T has a nice individual account profile online, why can one not activate/disactivate the service there ? Will be much faster.
    - or have the service activated with a separate credit card purchase/billing ?
    Hey, and advertise it on iPhone/Apple.
    Loads of people who are traveling overseas will be interested ! "
    Cheers
    Tom

    DexGtr,
    If you go to Settings -> Network, there is an option to turn off data roaming.
    However, if she hasn't updated her firmware since she purchased it that option may not be available.
    iPhone Firmware updates are downloaded via iTunes. Connected the iPhone to iTunes, and if it doesn't prompt you to update, then click on "Check for Updates" in the iPhone Summary tab.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • HT201299 How accurate is the data roaming meter?

    I'm having troubles with my provider as they state I've used more than what the meter says. How accurate is the data roaming meter? I switched it on as I was taking off to overseas and off when I landed back home.

        I know how important it is to keep track of your data usage Creegsly! Please be assured our data monitoring tools are very accurate; however, usage can delay for up to 48 hours. Your usage will reset each month on the first day of your new bill cycle. As an additional option, you can also use #DATA from your wireless phone to check your data usage. I trust this information was helpful.

  • Permanently disable the data roaming option

    Hi,
    is there a way to disable the data roaming option? Maybe via iPhone Config tool?
    We would like to permanently disable, respectively password protect this option
    for all our iPhone Users. Just setting a default value wouldn´t be enough.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hye ChrisBLN,
    Did you find out any solutions to your problem?
    To be honest, I'm currently in exactly the same situation and would appreciate to know if you discovered any replies that shows it's possible?
    I tried to manipulate ICU that seems to be made for this kind of problem but I can't find the right property/configuration.
    What about you?
    Thanks

  • How to disable internal TNEF format for mail message?

    for exchange 2007/2010
    my configuration is as follows:
    1. i've added a RoutingAgent, that catches every message that its subject contains
    a specific word, then - re-routes it into a dummy domain (dummy.com for example).
    2. i've added SendConnector that catches dummy.com in the address space, and
    routes it to a smtp listener.
    If i send mails from outlook client to another user in the domain, it seems
    that outlook wraps the smtp request in TNEF format (where the body and attachments are replaced with winmail.dat file).
    If i add a recipient which is outside of the exchange domain, the smtp request is sent well in a regular MIME format.
    can i somehow change the internal handling to simple MIME format? i need to
    relay it to an external IP...
    i tried to disable it in "Remote transport" - didnt work, because i'm routing
    those internal mails.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    Please refer the following post about how to disable TNEF in exchange 2010 server:

  • How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

    In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
    The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
    The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
    The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
    Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi John,
    create a veriable :
    data: v_date type char10.
    then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
    WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
    this might solve your problem.
    Regards,
    Hemant.

  • My international data roaming is not working in china, why?

    I am currently traveling in mid-east china, but my data roaming is not working. it shows good single bar, but when I try to receive emails (from gmail or AOL account), it gives me error messages. it is very frustrating. it has been 3 days that I can't retrieve emails. I do have voice service though.

    You might need to contact VZW for some trouble shooting help. Unless you are using a 3rd party simcard...then you might have to check with them to make sure their isn't an issue.

  • How to disable internal battery without a display?

    The display on my T440s is dead.  I would like to remove the hard drive before sending the laptop in.  The user guide says to disable the internal battery before moving the hard drive - but this requires access to the BIOS configuration, which cannot be done on an external monitor.
    Is it essential to disable the internal battery before removing the SSD?  If so, how can I do this?

  • How to Disable Rate Date in 1 OU

    Hello All,
    Client on 11.5.10.2 has found that someone on their system has made 'rate date' auto-populate in their system in a particular OU and they would like to find a way to disable this. (They are not aware of how or when this setup was done)
    It is causing an error of 'EU02' on their Journal Import process report due to the currency conversion date not being null.
    Example: receipt created on 9-May-13 - the rate date is populating as 18-Mar-13.
    We have tried the following navigation's:
    1. purchasing > setup > financials > currency
    2. general ledger > setup > currencies
    Customer found that daily rates were setup under GL and deleted them but this did not resolve the issue.
    Could someone advise on where the setup may be that is causing the auto populate of rate date on a receipt?
    We are interested in disabling this on only 1 OU as others may need it in the future.
    Regards and Thanks

    Since you have deleted the rates in GL, now the exchange rates might have been NULL only at the GL level. However to have effect on the subledgers, you may need to run AUTO RATE concurrent program from your subledger ....
    Try running it from your subledger responsibility for respective operating unit ...

  • How to Disable/End Date an Element Link/Element in HR 11.5.7(Fam.Pack G)

    We want to disable some element links that are no longer valid. These element links are assigned (element entries) to certain employees based on the eligibility criteria set (e.g. Organization/Job/Grade/etc). However we want to disable these elements from a specific date onward as they are no longer valid. I tried to end date either the element entry or the element link but I got the message "Field is protected against update".
    From help the only thing I found regarding deleting an element is to delete all element entries linked to that element link and then delete all element links linked to that element to be able to delete or end date the element.
    But what we need to do is only to disable the element links and not to delete them all together and lose any historical records related to these element entries.
    If anyone has any idea on how to deal with this issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Elena

    Hi again,
    I made a search regarding elements/links and managed to find an old document (2002) regarding links and following the suggestion there I managed to end date the element links in request.
    In order to end date the Element Link since it does not allow
    you to make any updates you have to try to DELETE it and then select END DATE instead of PURGE.
    Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Elena

  • How to disable internal storage browsing

    When you plug in a password protected iPhone to a Windows computer, you are prompted whether you want to view/copy files. Even if you disable autoplay, you can still navigate to the device and access all files. This should only be possible if the device is unlocked. How can one disable this security hole?

    Can you provide some more information. I have a 4S and Windows 7 system. I cannot get into any of my information on the phone from my computer except what shows up in iTunes. I cannot see any files or notes that I have. How are you able to do this?

  • External display - how to disable internal display or to move dock

    Hi,
    I'm using my MacBookPro with my external monitor. Since my external 24" Monitor is big enough, I don't want to use my integrate monitor. At least I'd like to move the dock as well as the top bar to the external monitor, because my MacBookPro is not in front of me.
    Any ideas?

    You have several options.
    First, and simplest, is just video mirroring, where the Mac sends the same signal to both the internal LCD and the external monitor. Since both screens are showing the same image, it doesn't matter which one you consider 'primary' - they both are.
    Secondly you can designate which screen is primary using the Displays Preferences. Under the 'Arrangement' tab you can set the relative position of each screen (e.g. LCD to the left/right of the monitor) by dragging the screens around. You'll also notice that one screen has a mini menu-bar visible. This denotes the 'primary' screen that handles the menu bar and dock. Dragging this menu bar to the other monitor will change the primary screen to that monitor and achieve what you want.
