Hi,

Stick to accessing when free wi-fi is available; I assume you can disable
the social networks in the notification settings area.

Hth,

Mike

Hi Steve and all -
 
So, when I next go abroad with my iPhone, I'll want roaming on at times, so
how can I be sure that twitter and podcasts don't download? It appears with
the iPhone the apps are closed until they are double tapped and they open,
but is pressing the home button for the home screen, enough to close the app
and prevent sneaky downloads? -

        Hi,

         

        Simple. She had her phone set for roaming, and it did what it was
told.

         

        If you have apps running in the background, like podcast clients, or
Facebook even, or Twitter, they are all downloading.

         

        All the best

        Hi all -

         

        There was a thing on Money Box this week about a loyer who ran up a
bill with T-Mobile, for £750 when in Australia, because her phone was
downloading data without her being aware of it. I was left wondering how
this might happen? Anybody know? -
