# allowsCellularAccess

A Boolean value that indicates whether the operation can send data over the cellular network.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsCellularAccess: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When you send or receive many records, or when you send records with large assets, you might set this property to false to avoid consuming too much of the user’s cellular data bandwidth. The default value is true. When this property is false, the operation fails if Wi-Fi isn’t available.
