When Should I Turn on Ride Mobile?

When you have an active plan on your account, Ride Mobile should always be enabled to connect you to data service when you lose coverage from your Primary Carrier or when roaming internationally.

It is important to check if your “Cellular Data Switching” is enabled for this service to work within the U.S.
If you are not sure go to: Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > Cellular/Mobile Data. Confirm Cellular Data Switching is ON. 

Please note that when you travel internationally, Cellular Data Switching should be disabled. If you don’t do this, you will incur costly roaming charges from your Primary Carrier.
