Hi,

Just home from an extended trip through Aussie.  To my horror I open my latest Telecom account for $450 of charges that are mostly

"Aus Data" almost hourly every day I was away.

I used the Sygic GPS constantly but thought this was free of any charges……was I wrong?

Notifications was off.

Data roaming was off….I think!

Cellular data was on.

These charges when overseas are killing the benefit of our smart phones, any tips on how to reduce these costs…using WiFi is a given.

I did this whenever available.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated!!

Regards

Roger

Thanks.

Did all that.  Heres a simple question.. (I hope!)……..

When using iPhone in my Tom Tom car kit overseas with Sygic navigation on, does it run up costs during use??

Thanks

Roger

Hi Dan

How about a forum on costs, and how to contain them when travelling.  Horror stories are everywhere on this issue.

Cheers

Roger
