Hi Steve and all -
So, when I next go abroad with my iPhone, I'll want roaming on at times, so how
can I be sure that twitter and podcasts don't download? It appears with the
iPhone the apps are closed until they are double tapped and they open, but is
pressing the home button for the home screen, enough to close the app and
prevent sneaky downloads? -

Hi,
Simple. She had her phone set for roaming, and it did what it was told.
If you have apps running in the background, like podcast clients, or Facebook
even, or Twitter, they are all downloading.
All the best
Steve

Hi all -
There was a thing on Money Box this week about a loyer who ran up a bill with
T-Mobile, for £750 when in Australia, because her phone was downloading data
without her being aware of it. I was left wondering how this might happen?
Anybody know? -
