Hello grantcheyne,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you no longer have Wi-Fi and that data allowance isn't an issue and want to know if you can back up your iPhone to iCloud without a Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, you will need a Wi-Fi connection to back up to iCloud. If you do not have a Wi-Fi network at your residence, you can log into a public network or use a friend's network and backup manually. You can take a look at the following support article for more information about backing up your iPhone:
