Nowadays, one can easily lose control over what is happening inside your smartphone. Loss can be
expensive, especially when abroad and using roaming. Current applications often access the internet, by
using data connections (GPRS, EDGE or G3) without prior warning or consent of the user, for example,
Mail for Exchange, or applications using SyncML. Not every application offers a choice of
synchronization methods, such as the newest versions of Mail for Exchange and Ovi Maps. Fees for
data connections in roaming can easily reach amounts comparable to a flight ticket.
No more unnecessary fees for internet access
Roaming Guard monitors the application access to data connections and, according to selected
settings, enables or denies access. Access may be denied for individual items shown in the
application's main window, MMS, E-mail, Web, Mail for Exchange, Ovi Maps and Other data. A
change of settings, to Never, Roaming, or Always is simply performed by pushing the joystick for the
selected item, or by clicking the item.
