    Default iphones and data usage abroad

    have read some stories about iphones picking up data somehow abroad and the owners ending up with big bills. My son is off to china and i don't want a massive bill. Is there anyway of turning data/internet off totally? 3 were not much help as the call centre bloke did not seemd to understand what i was asking

    settings
    general
    network
    then turn data roaming off.
    i think that's it.
    it still allows you to use wifi .

    Also need to turn off voicemail as can cost a fortune. Tell him to get Viber / What's App / Skype if he hasnt got it already. Obviously you'll need it as well.
