International Roaming

[GM58]

I am traveling in Europe and have turned off data roaming however small amounts of data use, 1-6kb, is still coming up as being used on my Telstra bill.  This tiny and totally uncontrollable use then triggers a Telstra daily roaming charge of $10.  How do I stop this without taking out my SIM?

Change location services to GPS only, or turn location services off. That should fix the problem.

Thanks,

however I am using IPhone XS and it appears that if i turn off location services I lose GPS functionality .

that stops use of downloaded offline maps from google maps and mapme.

is there any way to turn off mobile location services but retain GPS and WiFi using iPhone?

Unfortunately, for Apple, I can't find a setting to set location services to GPS only. It's quite easy to do on Android.

Wish I'd known about that trick when we went O/S last year. Exactly the same issue. Note to self - remember for future trips
