If you have exhausted the high-speed quota, you may purchase the YesRoam passes via MyYes App. - I had turned off data roaming and was using Wi-Fi. Why am I still charged for data roaming usage?
It is possible for some smartphones to still incur data roaming usage even if you have turned off Data Roaming on your phone settings. This is especially true on the LTE, where data services can be activated by default when performing a location update. This is specific for the LTE standards and was not the case in GSM/GPRS/3G standards. Should you really need to turn off data roaming, we recommend the following steps to avoid incurring further data roaming charges.
a) Switch off Mobile Data and Data Roaming
b) Switch on airplane mode
c) Switch off airplane mode
d) Turn on Wi-Fi (If you want to use data services) - What if I have more questions not addressed in this FAQ?
