Yes, I will disable it even though I'm not traveling in the near future.  I
just wish I knew what caused the trouble before.

Thanks,
Lois

Hi Lois,

I don't recommend having data roaming enabled. If you do end up travelling
outside the US and have your iPhone with you, this will allow your iPhone to
access data on other carrier's networks and if that  happens you will be
paying through the nose. This is what has happened when you hear about
people going on holidays in Europe or whatever, they are happily using their
iPhones to receive email, use the web, maybe even stream music and then they
come home to a $5,000 phone bill from AT&T.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi David,

I did have cellular on.  I did find a setting in there called roming data,
and that was off.  Maybe that was the problem.

Thanks for the tip.  I hope that was the problem.

Lois

No, you do not need wireless to send and receive iMessages. You do need to
have mobile data active if you wish to send and receive iMessages via your
mobile carrier's data rather than wifi. You set mobile data under settings,
general, mobile data.
