Can't find data roaming options setting on iPhone 13 I am currently in Spain, and my phone only works if connected to WiFi. When I called AT&T, she asked if cellular was turned on, and it is. She said in Settings, Cellular, go to data roaming options, but it doesn't exist.

My Mobile Data setting does not have Roaming Off button on my iPhone 16 Pro (My Carrier in Australia is Optus) My Mobile Data setting appears and confirms which SIM I am using (Primary) but no longer has an option to turn off Roaming. There is also no option to choose 4G/5G etc. The same is happening on my wife's 16e iPhone. These options were present before now. Not sure if it something to do with an iOS update, with the Carrier (Optus - Australia), or since an eSIM for an Overseas trip to Japan has been added. When we are travelling we will turn off our Primary SIM but need to have our iPhone number to use WhatsUp for voice calls when using the eSIM (UBIGI) data. I do not want to find that even though the Australian SIM Card is turned OFF (but not removed) that I return home to find that it has somehow been reactivated and I have Roaming charges to pay.

Probably you mean iPhone 15 Pro.

Your phone company turns on data roaming when you ask, but only when you're in their network area. It's not something you control in your iPhone settings; your carrier manages it for you.
