Why is my roaming data being used up even if I am not accessing the internet on my phone?

While you may not be using your internet browser, it’s likely your phone is still using the net in the background – such as retrieving emails, getting social media notifications, or auto-updating apps.

In order to not use mobile data while you’re roaming, it’s best to disable this option in your phone's settings.
