Data Roaming Charges

Lynn+Emery — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:46:19 GMT

I keep getting messages to say this is active and will be charged at £2 for 24 hours. I am at my daughter's house using her WiFi with data roaming switched off on my phone. I was sitting there this morning messaging someone on her WiFi as I thought and the message came up again.What am I supposed to do to stop these charges?

@Lynn+Emery

The first question has to be ~ where are you?

Turning off data roaming isn't enough as you are still connecting to cellular services (SMS/Voice).

Use flight mode.

Put your phone in flight mode and then turn WiFi on and that should just allow WiFi useage and not mobile data @Lynn+Emery. Looks like your messages are not being sent on WiFi but by messaging or mobile data.
