How to use Runkeeper abroad
If you would like to use Runkeeper abroad and avoid roaming charges, follow the steps below:
iPhone:
- Go to phone Settings
- Select Cellular
- Toggle Cellular Data & Data Roaming 'off.' Do not put the device in Airplane mode, as this disables GPS.
- Track your activity as normal, and then when you return to your country or access a WiFi network with your phone, you will be able to upload your activity.
- Select the activity, click on the upper right-hand "Options" button, then select "Resend to Runkeeper.com."
For Android:
- Go to Settings, Wireless & Networks, More...
- Go to Mobile Networks, then unselect Data-Enabled and Data Roaming.
- Track your activity as normal, and then when you return to your country or access a WiFi network with your phone, you will be able to upload your activity.
Note: Do not log out or uninstall your app! Doing so will cause you to lose your activities that haven't synced with our servers!
