Ayman, Could you please help to determine what is the correct expect behavior in this roaming situation?
Thanks.

This might not work because it's still not downloadable after switch to manual download.
> or

Could be a solution. Need both gecko and gaia work.
> or
> - Content downloaded successfully
Not sure if it's a reasonable behavior because we skip the notification before data roaming enabled.

Hi Guys

Ok, I am really sorry but i am unable to obtain the results from the tests that i need running because apparently none of the SIMs will allow MMS to be sent to roaming numbers so i cannot review data roaming behaviour. In view of this I cannot understand the relationship/behaviour between the different settings for Data and messaging during roaming and therefore am not able to prescribe a reliable/robust solution to this bug. 

If anyone can run tests for data roaming please either Ni? me or email me. 

Sorry

Ayman, can we try to imagine a good enough solution, at least better than what we have now ?

I'd say "immediately fail with a useful message" seems quite safe to do, right ?

I would really prefer to understand the relationships in settings for this one rather than hypothesise and be wrong. i am going to mark this bug qawanted to see if anyone anyone in the QA team can help us.

Hi Ayman,
We are not quite sure either.  Here are some results from test.

In settings/Cellular & Data:
Data roaming : { on , off }
  Data roaming is on: user may use data connection while roaming, which might introduce huge charge.

Message settings/ Auto retrieve : { off, on with roaming, on without roaming }
Auto-retrieve depends on data connection and data roaming, which restricts user to receive MMS payload in an unexpected situation.

For example,
Auto-retrieve off: not allow to download any payload(image, music, or video), user must download them manually.
Auto-retrieve on-with-roaming: user can always get all contents automatically.

It conflicts because data-roaming dominates auto-retrieve; you can not set auto-retrieve MMS when data roaming but keep data-roaming off.

It also make sense to me, if these two options can have certain relation, for example, if user turns off data-roaming, then all roaming relative options are set off and gray-out.
