Will i still get free 3G on my iphone?

[Hollywoodsign]

hey!
anyone know if I can still use the 3G on my iphone in Florida for free???

No, the iphone automatically has roaming disabled and you want to leave it that way. You will still be able to pick up wifi if you are in an area where it is free.

Our villa has wifi and when we were in France last year McDonalds and the cafe where we got breakfast had it as well.

it's automatically disabled? i had to manually disable my iphone's data roaming.

Maybe because i have an iphone 3Gs?

I have a 3GS as well and the roaming is supposed to be automatically disabled and it was in my case. I have also just checked as my son has recently got the Galaxy SII (I think that's what it is called)

Maybe its an O2 thing, which network are you with.

different network, different country - that's great that it's automatic..

i'm sure lots of people don't remember to do it in my network - the charges are absolutely astronomical!

Yes be very very careful with mobile smartphones abroad, you could easily end up spending thousands of pounds in data charges.

I turned it on a couple of times in France and it cost me a fortune.

In addition to making sure that Data roaming is off do you need to turn off all push notifications etc for Iphone?

As long as data roaming is off you are covered.
