Am I roaming
Basically, anytime your mobile device is connected to a network outside of your cell plan provider's service area, that's roaming. Whether you're making a domestic or international call, roaming is simple to understand by remembering just a few key points.
What happens if data roaming is on
Data roaming occurs whenever your phone disconnects from your carrier's network and hops on another network. Roaming allows you to make calls, send texts, and use wireless data even when you're outside of your network's boundaries.
Can I still receive calls with data roaming off
Turn off roaming.
You can still get calls and text with Wi-Fi, but your phone won't send or receive data on networks.
Should cellular data roaming be on or off
It's important to know how to turn data roaming on and off on your phone. Turning it off ensures you're not hit with large bills for your data and turning it on allows you to access the internet when traveling abroad. To enable or disable data roaming on Android: Open the Settings app.
