Help for noob: traveling internationally w/ iPhone
Hello. I only recently purchased an iPhone and need some assistance with using the phone while in Europe and limiting my expense while doing so.
I have an iPhone 6 from ATT. I have bought some international text messages, international minutes, and a small amount of data (300 MB). I will use the phone mostly to make and receive calls and send text messages; I will check emails infrequently but there will be some of that.
I need some help figuring out what settings to enable / disable to allow me to send / receive text messages and check e-mails, while limiting the amount of data that burn through and also to avoid incurring unwanted / unnecessary fees. Can someone please advise?
I've got some thoughts on what I need to do as follows:
Under Cellular Data:
1. Leave Cellular Data turned on.
2. Enable LTE for both voice and data (not just data).
3. Leave Data Roaming turned on.
4. Go through all of the apps under Use Cellular Data For and turn off everything except for Mail
Under Background App Refresh:
Turn off this setting.
Under Location Privacy / Services:
Turn this off.
Under Privacy / Share My Location:
Turn this off.
