Prevent Usage of Mobile Data With Apple Configurator 2

Greetings dieterzakel,

I understand you're curious about preventing an iPhone from having access to mobile data using Apple Configurator 2, so let's check out the following information.

With Apple Configurator 2, you can create your own configuration profile to be installed on a device, which would allow you to set certain restrictions and preferences on the iPhone. For additional information on how to do this, check out the following resource:

Create and edit configuration profiles in Apple Configurator 2

In regards to restricting mobile data, this may not be an option with Apple Configurator 2; however, is this your personal device or are you looking to manage multiple devices for a business or education entity? If this is your personal device, you can disable mobile data via your Settings as well as set restrictions for access to mobile data. For information regarding this, if this is for your personal device, check out the following resources:

View or change cellular data settings on iPhone

If you're looking to manage multiple devices, I'd recommend reviewing the following resource for more information on the restrictions that can be enabled. You would be able to force Wi-Fi to stay on without being able disable it; however, I wasn't able to locate a preference for disabling mobile data altogether. Take a look here to be certain:

MDM restrictions for iPhone and iPad devices

I hope this information was able to address your questions.

Have a great day!

dieterzakel,

Thanks for your response.

You are correct. With the resource provided that covers restrictions, there is an option that may be available labeled "Modify cellular data app settings" however, you would need to look into this on your end to determine what the restriction outlines. For reference, take a look at this resource again:

MDM restrictions for iPhone and iPad devices

If you have additional questions, Contact Apple Support directly to look into this with you in more detail.

Cheers!
