Turn Data off during International travel
I had to travel to Canada recently, and I was looking for a way to turn data off, but still be able to receive incoming calls. I was able to do it using the following setting.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Data Roaming (Connect to data services when roaming). Turn this off.
It is very important to do this before you travel to other countries with your phone because most of the time the carriers partner with local providers in the country and when you get back you will be slapped with a huge bill.
It worked flawlessly and it was interesting to see how my data kept going in and out near the border. When it connected to towers in the US, data connection would work, otherwise it would not. Definitely use this, if you are traveling international. I guess I will end up using this when I travel to other countries soon and still connect to data using Wi-Fi.
