how do i turn off data roaming at £2 per day?

Don't use your phone abroad! As soon as you make any calls or texts or use data while in the EU you will be charged £2.29 on that day.

To turn off data roaming on your device, follow these general steps:

1. Open the settings on your mobile device.
2. Look for the "Network" or "Connections" option and tap on it.
3. Locate the "Mobile Networks" or "Data Usage" section and select it.
4. You should see an option for "Roaming" or "Data Roaming." Tap on it.
5. Toggle the switch or checkbox next to "Data Roaming" to disable it.

Regarding the £2 per day charge, that seems to be a specific rate for data roaming that your service provider has set. To avoid incurring this charge, you should ensure that data roaming is completely turned off as mentioned above.

The post by @jsmithj above appears to be confusing two concepts.

Roaming is when your phone connects to a foreign network and is able to use calls, texts or data over that network. EE's £2.29 daily charge applies for using your UK allowances in the EU.

Data Roaming simply means using mobile data whilst roaming.
