How to Turn Off Data Roaming on the Samsung Galaxy On5

Last updated on April 21st, 2023 at 11:15 pm

Mobile data charges are often the most expensive part of a cellular plan. Many plans will include a fixed amount of data that is available for you to use when you are on your network, but that available data typically won’t include data that you use while you are roaming, or connecting to cellular networks other than the ones owned by your provider. These data roaming charges can really add up, so you may be looking for a way to turn off data roaming on your Galaxy On5.

The steps below will show you where to locate the data roaming setting on your device so that you can prevent those charges from occurring. You will then only be able to use data on your cellular provider’s network, or when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
