About Roaming Control

Roaming Control automatically enables or disables mobile data connection, airplane mode or auto sync based on the currently active network operator.

Roaming Control can also intercept outgoing calls in selected networks, and ask if you want to allow the call.

Besides manually defined network operators, Roaming Control also supports special rules for your home network, for national roaming and for unknown networks. For certain networks, free roaming partner networks are also supported.

+++ Due to changes Google made in Android 5.0 it i+s technically no longer possible (at least for application developers) to toggle data on or off - so we had do drop support for Android 5.0+.


Possible scenarios, where Roaming Control helps you, are:

* Your network provider is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and uses national roaming to connect to other network providers.

* You want that your mobile data connection automatically turns off as soon as you leave your country (and turns on again when coming back).

* You live near the border and want to avoid outgoing calls when connected to the foreign network.

* You want an easy way to enable data roaming for your Sprint network.


Differences between full version and trial version:

The trial version offers the full functionality, but expires after 7 days.

Generally good but crashes a bit & doesn't fully recognize satellite network that pops up on cruise ships, also needs updating for 3UK 'feel at home'

This app is not very successful at detecting the switch to national roaming between Italian networks 3 (tre) and TIM, it only works about 70% of the time, the other 30% the 3g data is not disconnected quickly enough and I get charged a one-time fee for using the National roaming.

Even with no data roaming set, Rogers occasionally billed for daily data roaming charges when in the US. Has not happened since roaming control installed. Note, trial version only lasts about 30 days then you have to upgrade to paid version to keep working, but still worth it

Worked during the trial period...just long enough to get me to purchase....worked for another week...then stopped working. Waste of money.

I really need this app to work as I live on the Mexican side of the US border and need a US phone that connects to US networks, at the same time avoiding charges for connecting accidentally to Mexican networks . However after much trying and investigation I cannot get the app to block incoming calls over the Mexican networks nor am I warned when I make an outgoing call over the same networks. I am using Android 4.4. 4 on a Moto X phone . I am still game to use it if any advice suggestions or fixes available

Have been happy with the app for a long time, until it suddenly decided that my licence was invalid, started spamming the screen to that effect and disabled the data connection while I was using my phone for navigation. Uninstalled.

HTC Amaze 4G is supposed to be able to disable roaming, but doesn't seem to work. My provider (Wind/Ottawa) is supposed to be able to flag your account to not allow roaming, but apparently that doesn't work very well, either. 4 stars for disabling roaming and keeping my monthly bill from rising. I'll give it 5 stars after it can consistently reconnect when the home network is back in range. Excellent work!

Exactly what I was looking for when I travel into Canada.

X70%
by X####:

I installed this app because when I am in Canada I have huge issues with data window warnings with this phone. Neither Verizon nor Motorola will claim responsibility and address the problem. Was hoping that this app would negate me having to deal with them one more time. Sadly it didn't correct the problem either.

Simple and useful

The app properly identified that I was roaming, but it allowed data to continue on through. Uninstalling this and manually monitoring my roaming status.

I live on the borders between Switzerland and France and this app is perfect for that situation. I would give it 5 stars if could also count and limit calls I make abroad as I have 200 minutes inclusive free calls while abroad.

I have sprint, terrible service. This makes using 3g bearable. My calls are also less likely to drop. Well worth the money.

I was hoping to find a program that would force data roaming on for all networks, but sadly this doesn't work on the Droid Pro. I'm giving it 5/5 because I should have checked compatibility before buying.

A must have app for everyone living on an international boundary who has suffered from inadvertent roaming charges, this enables you which international networks you can call and use data on. Also good if your provider has a preferred partner who has lower rates like the "3 like home"service that is supported by this app. Saved me it's cost within a month.

I have an nexus 7 3G and after mentioning to the developer that my device would not see the app in play store to install it, he got back to me with a modified app to test it, and once it all worked, he updated the app in the play store so that I could install it. Great support, and superb app, thank you for your great help
