  • Visit Let's Troubleshoot Your Devices.
  • Enter your device in the search field under Filter (e.g., “Samsung” or “S23”, etc.) and choose your device.
  • Select Troubleshoot under the device’s name on the device tile.
  • In the Search Another Issue field, type “Turn data roaming on or off.” Follow the instructions for your device.
