CDMA roaming settings

Need help tracking down the roaming settings on your CDMA device? This article will walk you through finding and updating them. Just click on your device type below.


Android phones

Android phones have a variety of options available when it comes to roaming, often including roaming mode, roaming guards and main roaming settings. There are three examples of Android devices below to cover off some of the most common pathways to and configurations of these settings.

Example 1

This is a common pathway to roaming settings for a lot of devices running Jelly Bean. If your device is running KitKat, you'll likely be able to access roaming settings without tapping Mobile Networks (i.e. one less step):

  1. Tap Apps
  2. Tap Settings
  3. Tap More Networks
  4. Tap Data Roaming
  5. Read the warning, and tap OK
  6. If you want to disable any features you can tap Mobile Data and Data Roaming

Example 2

In some cases, the roaming settings are slightly hidden in the mobile data option rather than being located in More, as is often the case:

  1. Settings
  2. Tap Mobile data but not the ON/OFF toggle
  3. Scroll down to work with main roaming settings

(Pictured: LG G Flex 2)

Scroll back up to get to Roaming Guards and Roaming mode (listed simply as "Roaming").  
 

Example 3

In this example there are fewer roaming options to work with:

  1. Tap Settings
  2. Tap More
  3. Tap Cellular Networks
  4. Tap Data Roaming to change the settings
  5. Read the warning and tap OK

Older Android phones

Android phones running Ice Cream Sandwich (or older) will have varying pathways but they almost invariably start with going to Settings and then Wireless & networks. Of course on some devices, the Roaming option may be located right in the main Settings menu.

iOS phones

It's relatively simple to get the roaming settings on an iOS device and they are a bit more streamlined than on an Android device:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Tap Cellular (if your phone is running iOS6, you'll need to go into General to find the Cellular option)
  3. Tap Roaming

(Pictured:  iPhone 6S running iOS 12.1.1)

Toggling Voice & Data Roaming will expose all of your roaming options including Voice Roaming

Windows phones

Roaming settings are neatly divided between voice and data on Windows devices, making them super easy to work with:

  1. Go to the Settings menu
  2. Tap Network & wireless
  3. Tap Mobile & SIM
  4. Tap Data connection to change the setting (e.g., from off to on)
  5. Data connection is now on, tap the data connection slider again to turn it off
  6. Tap Data roaming options
  7. Tap roam
  8. Data roaming is on

  3. Settings
  4. Others
  5. Roaming
  6. Select from Set Mode, Call Guard and Data Roam Guard.
