Illustration of this step

When travelling outside of Canada, youʼll roam on a partner network and roaming charges will apply. To help control data roaming usage, your Apple iPhone 5 has a data roaming setting that you can switch on and off as needed.

To use data on a partner network, the data roaming setting needs to be on. If you donʼt need data, make sure that data roaming is off to avoid unwanted charges. You can also turn off data services altogether. This way, your Apple iPhone 5 will only transmit data over Wi-Fi.

Before you go, visit bell.ca/travel to see roaming rates, travel add-ons and network coverage for your destination.
