Iphone consume roaming data despite Data Roaming option off, why?

Few weeks ago Im traveling and turn off the data roaming option. Today surprised I see a little consume of data travel days in my mobile operator bill. I call to them and say me that the Data Roaming option doesnt work and suggest me in my next travel turn off all celular options as Cellular Data, Enable 3G and Data Roaming. It is sound very strange for me and is the first time in a mobile terminal some option is not usable.
Can it be possible?
Thanks,
Andres

is it free or do you have to sign up and pay and is there a password
Havee you asked the hotel ???

My iphone consumed 10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

My iphone 5s consumed 10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

The long backups seem to be related to the size of the apps you installed, not the number. That's why some people with multiple pages of apps experience fast backups. There does seem to be a bug with the current firmware that can cause a crash when doing app uploads and syncs. This bug seems to be exacerbated by having large and many apps.
I was experiencing frequent crashes, but have no more - even with 70 apps installed - some of them large like the American Heritage Dictionary which is several hundred megabytes. I did the following:
1. I set iTunes to NOT do autosyncs every time I plug in. This setting is in the Itunes preferences.
2. I disabled the autobackups in iTunes for the iphone. I figured that if it did crash and it was going to take 2 hours to restore, why not just reload. The instructions are readily found using google search; it involves a command line setting. Anyway, the phone doesn't crash anymore since doing this.
3. I no longer install apps using the iPhone. I first install the app in iTunes and the I manually sync it to the iphone. I avoid doing multiple installs at once; at least for the large apps. Right click on each app and get its info from within itunes. If it is large, it is going to take time to backup.
4. I always first shut off the iphone and restart it before installing any apps in itunes. This clears any memory issues left behind from use.
I am going to continue to do these procedures until Apple releases a fix for the bugs relating to the apps.
As noted, since I took these steps, I have had no crashes. I was crashing at least once every 1-2 days before with the same or less number of apps. I too was a first gen iPhone user and was very frustrated with the 3G experience. Since doing the above, I am once again a very happy and productive iPhone 3G user. I know its a pain to do this, but the bugs will get fixed at some point. I would never go back to my old phones - they were just phones.

Pay as you go iphone 4s cellular data on or off?

Hi all
My son has an iphone 4s on EE pay as you go and we would like to know whether we should have 'cellular data' turned on or off?
We were told by EE that if cellular data (not sure why it says cellular data, when my iphone 4 says mobile???) is turned on then his 'credit' will go very quickly?!? Which is has done!
If we have cellular data turned off he then cannot receive iMessages or SMS??? unless he uses WIFI which isnt available when hes out and about?
If we turn cellular data on (so that he can receive iMessages and SMS) is there an option for his 'credit' not to be used up on data?
Thanx for any help offered

iMessage requires a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. MMS requires a cellular data connection, & SMS requires a cellular connection, but not cellular data.
FYI: An iPhone is designed to always have a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. Trying to manage an iPhone, without a data connection, is kinda like trying to force a square peg in a round hole. Possible? perhaps, but not done easily or effectively.

When my iphone looks for data it turns off my car stereo

Henever my iphone looks for data my car stero cuts out. There is a handsfree bluetooth system in the car which works fine

This can happen with lithium batteries that have been completely empty and the phone not used for a very long time, say more than 6 months. If that is the case, you may succeed to revive it by doing the following:
Charge it for an hour or so,
disconnect the charger,
put the iPhone ON,
do not use it for 10 minutes,
use the phone for 1 minute,
put the phone OFF,
leave the phone for 15 minutes,
connect the charger and charge for half an hour,
disconnect the charger,
put the phone ON,
do not use it for 10 minutes,
use the phone for 2 minutes,
put the phone to OFF,
leave the phone for 10 minutes,
connect the charger and charge for half an hour,
disconnect the charger,
leave the phone for 10 minutes,
use the phone for 2 minutes,
etc
do this 4 or 5 times: it sounds silly, but this has a scientific base, it tries to move the electrons again in the battery.
At some point the battery may come back to life completely. I have had the same three times, and in all cases it worked (2 Nokia, 1 iPhone).

General Settings in my iphone 4 doesn't have software update option. Can anyone tell me why and how to put the option in?

Hi, I've been to the Apple store - it was just matter of downloading the most recent software IOS 5 - once this was done the sotware update option appeared in General Settings.

Try putting it in rice for a few hours. It does sound daft but it did work for mine
If you're going to put a phone in rice (not daft at all, the rice acts as a dessicant), it needs to be for a few days, not a few hours. The OP stated in their post that the did put it in rice. In addition to the liquid damage, salt water is also much more corrosive to electronics than plain water. The rice won't help with the salt.

TS2755 iPhone 5 on ios7 doesn't receive messages from other iPhones when data is turned off

My iPhone 5 doesn't receive iMessages or texts from other iPhones when my data is turned off, obviously I do not expect to receive iMessages but I also cannot receive text messages. Text messages can be sent but not received. Text messaging to and from people with androids and blackberries is fine.

That is because iPhone users would be sending you iMessages. The only time you would receive them as a text is if they have theirs turned off, or it is set to send an SMS if iMessage fails. At some point you had iMessages activated, and if so, that is how the iDevices will send to you.

Iphone data roaming - option not working ( urgent please help)

I am going on a long holiday (3months) to various countries from Canada and I will be using my phone only for the first leg of the journey for 15 days just to keep in touch with my family to say I'm safe and all. I dont want to unlock or jailbreak my phone.
Is there a way to disable the 3G to avoid roaming charges ( Since I am on a contract I cant ask my provider to block it) I turn on the data roaming option but the 3G sign is still shown and its still connecting to the network
Is there any other way

"I turn on the data roaming option but the 3G sign is still shown and its still connecting to the network"
Are you out of the country when you do this? It won't disable data when you are in your home network.
From the manual:
"Data Roaming turns on Internet and visual voicemail access over a cellular data
network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. For example,
when you’re traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid potential roaming
charges. By default, Data Roaming is turned off. "
BTW, I'm not sure how helping you avoid a roaming bill is urgent. Some have much more "urgent" problems, like crashes, unresponsive iphones, etc.

My iphone 4s has the Cellular Data and Data Roaming but does NOT have the option of ROAMING Voice&Data. Do you know how to enable it?

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 track my iPhone 5 ... I lost it in Singapore n my data roaming is off...are there any chances to find it ..

It can't be tracked unless it has a data connection to the internet, either via cellular data or wifi. Unless you set up iCloud, enabled Find My iPhone in settings, and the phone is turned on and (in your case) connected to wifi, you won't be able to track it.

Iphone 5 - "use cellular data for" option only shows Facetime and Passbook

I have an iphone 5 and I am trying to manage my cellular data usage,
When I go into Settings - Cellular and I look at the "use cellular data for" option, there are only 2 apps on the list Facetime and Passbook.
I have seen other posts online that show a long list of apps that you can toggle Cellular data on and off.
How can I see a longer list of apps.

In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

I work abroad and i have data roaming switched off.

I work abroad and i have data roaming switched off. How do i disable the notification that continually pops up when sending a text? I know the data roaming is off because i switched it off, i do not need the phone telling me this everytime i write a text message.

Turn MMS Message off in Settings > Messages. MMS messages are sent over data unlike SMS. And as stated, MMS uses the Messages app.

HT1807 in the general setting, i turned off cellular and made sure that the cellular date, enable lte and data roaming was off. if when off, i was receiving telephone calls while travelling in the usa

while travelling in the usa, i turned off cellular in settings and also made sure that the cellular data, enable lte and data roaming was off. \however, i was still receiging telephone calls

Turning off cellular data doesn't turn off the ability of the phone to make or receive phone calls. In order to do that, you'd need to put the phone in Airplane Mode.
