I am in the US and have a Moto G 5G Plus (model XT2075-3) with a Mint Mobile SIM for the US and a Tesco Mobile SIM for the UK. I have installed the offered updates so it runs Android 11, I think it last said with updates up to this month. In Settings -> Network & internet -> T-Mobile (and -> TESCO) I have "Connect to data services while roaming" turned off, for both SIMs, which is how I want it.

Phone Services keeps notifying me, "Data roaming is turned off. If you turn it on, international charges may apply according to the rates in your plan." I know, that's why I turned it off! I get this notification a few times a day, most recently it woke me at 4am this morning to tell me this. Of course, as I am presently in the US, while the T-Mobile SIM for Mint in the US is not roaming, the TESCO one for the UK is always roaming.

I've tried to turn off this notification. E.g., if I go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> search for Phone Services -> Notifications -> then I turn off everything it will let me, which is only a minority of the shown options. How can I get this phone to stop notifying me about how data roaming is turned off?
 
Welcome to Android Central! The next time you get that notification, try swiping it part way. Do you see a settings gear? If so, tap that and see if you get the option to turn off that notification or at least make it silent.
 
Thank you. Alack, the settings gear reports, "These notifications can't be modified."
 
Thank you, at first it seemed promising! The menus are somewhat different but that thread did lead me to discover that, in that menu I mention in my last paragraph starting this thread, separately from the toggles on the right, I can touch the names of the Phone Services notification options and get a "default" or "silent" option to pick for each. Setting all but "SMS messages" and "Voicemail messages" to silent ... didn't help, alas, but I was hopeful there for a while. I also tried clearing cache to see if that helped, but no luck.
