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

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? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Nutt <mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 12:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Smart phones and roaming charges 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.

I was left wondering how this might happen? Anybody know? - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
