1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

  • intercepting and holding a uniform resource identifier (URI) request for target web data sent by an application program in a mobile computing device operating in roaming mode, the URI request including a target URI that identifies the target web data available over a computer network;

    determining a classification of the application program that sent the URI request;

    after intercepting and holding the URI request but before sending the URI request out of the mobile computing device, determining network bandwidth consumption associated with receiving the target web data in the mobile computing device based on the classification of the application program that sent the URI request; and

    before sending the URI request out of the mobile computing device, displaying on a screen of the mobile computing device roaming fee information for receiving the target web data into the mobile computing device based on the network bandwidth consumption associated with receiving the target web data.
