I am curious to get more info on the benefits vs disadvantages of having Data Roaming on at all. I am almost positive when I bought my iPhone 4 last June it was ON by default, as well as Voice Roaming. I left it on, not understanding the implications of this setting (first smartphone for me).

So, now that I have learned about the traveling outside the US and the need to disable it....does it need to be enabled at all? I have Verizon service, btw. I do not do a ton of traveling, so I am mostly local in the Charlotte, NC area. I do occasionally travel up to VA, and MA, but that's about it.

Referencing this thread, I didn't get a clear answer about travel withing the US, I don't have a clue about cell provider's and towers in regards to roaming.

I meant for the thread title to read "Is Data Roaming "ON" necessary?" If one of the mods read this, can you edit the title for me?
TIA!

It's not necessary to keep on. You can turn it off.
