In the settings app there is no reference to 'roaming' at all.  In most references to this online, the instruction is to open the settings app, choose 'Mobile Data' and then options shown include roaming.  In my settings app, the top level choice is 'Mobile' and when I choose this there are no references at all to 'roaming'.

 

My objective is to avoid roaming charges when overseas by using wifi calling exclusively - offline if not connected via wifi.

 

I am using a standard SIM.  I used ESIM for a while but with the nearest 2D store an hour's drive away, it is difficult to swap to a backup (android) phone that I have if the need arises.

Hey there - just a quick note, if you're still running iOS 16.5 please upgrade this ASAP to iOS 16.6.1.

 

A rather serious zero day has been disclosed and is under active exploitation: https://citizenlab.ca/2023/09/blastpass-nso-group-iphone-zero-click-zero-day-exploit-captured-in-the-wild/ 

 

On my iPhone there is a "Data Roaming" option on my 2degrees sim so perhaps that? I don't think you can fully turn off roaming.

What do you see when you tap Settings --> Mobile --> Mobile Data Options?

 

You should see roaming options within that new page.

On my version, there is no 'Mobile Data Options' between 'Mobile Data' and 'Personal Hotspot'.

Setting also exists on 15.7.8. Try rebooting the phone? Try re-inserting the SIM? Or alternatively, as suggested before try one or more of the reset options.

Your earlier suggestion to run permanently with Flight Mode set and WIFI on seems to be the answer.  I was assuming that the SIM needed to be 'active' to allow WIFI calling to work but this seems not to be the case.

 

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
