A method and apparatus for selecting a data connection IP (Internet Protocol) type during roaming. At a device a comprising a processor, a memory storing data indicative of radio access technologies and associated internet protocol (IP) types to use under different roaming conditions, and a communication interface, it is determined, using the communication interface, that roaming is occurring and a given radio access technology being used in the roaming is also determined. The data is processed to select an IP type associated with the given radio access technology. Thereafter, the IP type selected is used, during the roaming, in requests to a gateway to a network.
