Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Roaming Guard keeps track of when the phone is roaming. This is very useful since the user does not have to worry about roaming. Just setup the Roaming Guard once and then leave the app running in the background and don't worry about data costs. The typical user is the one that crosses the border often while commuting to work. Android 4.4.4 and lower versions: When roaming and the network hasn't been approved during the setup, the phone will automatically turn off the data connection. When the phone is again connected to a network that has been approved, it automatically turns on the data connection. Android 5.0 and higher versions: Due to permission changes on the android platform it is not possible to turn data connection on and off automatically. Therefore the user will be informed via notifications when roaming happens on an not approved network. The user will then have to turn off the roaming connection manually. As an additional feature the app has caller ID information. This is a feature that shows who is calling even though the number is not in users phone book.

Roaming Guard APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Roaming Guard APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is a5fbe352a80c639722448356fcce8bfd.
