7
We are looking for the icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen
.
It is a white cog icon. This is our Settings icon.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
Press down on this icon, and it will open our "Settings" menu
.
As we can see, it says the word "Settings" in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9
The first section of the "Settings" menu is "WIRELESS & NETWORKS", as indicated in the gray bar
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
In that section, we are looking for the "Mobile data" option
.
To the left of this is the icon of two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
This option is turned on in our demonstration, as we can see by the switch on the right side of the screen that displays the word "ON"
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
Let's press down where it says "Mobile data" to bring up a list of options
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
The first option says, "Slot 1 data roaming"
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
The second option is "Slot 2 data roaming"
.
We need to choose the right slot where the SD card is located if there is a dual SIM activated on the HTC One M8.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
Below each of the options, it says, "May result in significant data charges"
.
It can be very expensive, but if we need to use data for whatever reason, or we need data because of an emergency, or we need access to our emails very quickly when traveling or away from WiFi, we might very well need this option. It is good to be able to turn the option on when needed and then turn it off when it is not needed. Therefore, we are not constantly being charged for it.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
If we want to turn this option on, we can just press down on the box on the far right side of the screen across from desired slot option
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

The box will turn blue, and a check will be added

It will also bring up a warning message that says, "Turn on data roaming? Using a data connection while roaming can result in significant additional data charges."
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18
To accept this and proceed with this option, we have to press "OK"
.
This means it has been confirmed. This can be very useful when needed, but it is always good to turn it off once we're finished using the internet or data roaming.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19
To turn the option off, just press down again on the box with the white check inside
.
This will remove the check, and the box will be white again.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
