Tips on using WiFi abroad
If you have the WiFi option activated and data roaming at the same time (Data Roaming), your cell phone can dynamically switch between both options, without you noticing the change.
If you lose WiFi connection and continue browsing the mobile network, charges may be generated on your Telcel Bill.
Tips on Automatic Data Consumption
When you arrive in another country and turn on your cell phone, data consumption is generated by updating applications on your cell phone. This generates charges on your bill according to the current data rate for the country in which you are located. Save and check out the Packages and rates we have for you.
Deactivate the “Automatic application update” option in the “Settings” or “Configuration” menu of your cell phone.
