BB Tour while traveling - charges.

I plan to only use the BB Tour global data plan (additional $34) while traveling in South America. I don't want to incur in roaming charges so I will turn text off before I leave. If I send emails to [email protected] or any other carrier would those be considered texts or emails? I would think emails, but the VZ tech on the phone said otherwise, not sure if she was confused. Also, can I ask my friends to email me (not txt) at my [email protected] and I shld get them right?

If you send an email to [email protected] it will leave your phone as an email and go to your friend's phone as a text message. In this case you won't incurr any additional charges as it's covered under the data plan.
BUT...if your friend sends an email to your [email protected] it will come to your phone as a text message.If you do not block text messages while you're going it'll be an additional cost for you. If you block text messages you won't get them.
Either just use your email address. Or you can send an email to [email protected] and your friend's can reply via text to your email address...this will come through as an email not a text.
Test things out before your leave. If it shows up in your SMS folder, it's a text. If it shows up in your email, it's an email.

    Is airplane mode a good way to avoid call charges while traveling outside of the US?

    Yes. It will completely disable the cellular radio. You can turn WiFi on while the  phone is in Airplane mode, so you can used data when connecte to a WiFi network.

  • HT1807 I want to avoid all charges while travelling

    I've gone to Settings --> Carrier and turned 'automatic' off, but when I return to the main settings screen, my iPhone has selected a carrier.  It keeps doing this ... there doesn't seem to be a way for it to ignore cellular carriers in the area.  I don't want any charges to my bill while I'm travelling.  How do I get it to stop?  (B.t.w. I have Data Roaming off, Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth off and Personal Hotspot off.)
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Scott

    It would probably best for you if you turned airplane mode on, and that would stop your phone from trying to connect to other carriers and put you in roaming. If you turn airplane mode on while traveling, avoid using your cellular connect because its going to use data while roaming and your phone bill will go high up xD . Use wifi when needed. Hope I helped mate. Cheers

  • Travel Charger for MacBook

    Hi,
    I'll be traveling out of the country in a few weeks and I'm looking for a travel charger that can recharge the battery while it's not in the MacBook (I have 2 batteries, so I would like to use the laptop while the other battery is charging).
    Does such a product exist?
    Thanks,

  • International support or support while traveling

    Currently while traveling in Germany my macbook died on me. I can't get any response from it at all. I still have apple care but it expires august 30th just after I arrive back home in Canada. I've tried calling apple but it is very difficult to since I am only able to call from Germany and the 1 800 number doesn't work. In addition to my computer not starting the case is cracked and broken in a number of places, like many plastic macbooks and when charging the battery at it's final stage the power adaptor switches from charging to not charging and takes forever to completely charge. I'd like to have the problems looked at before apple care runs out but I am unsure what is my best plan of action. Any suggestions?
    also the power charges does the same thing on my husbands macbook pro.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    AppleCare is worldwide where coverage is available. To contact them in Germany, call:
    (49) 01805 009 433
    Also note, since you have cracks in the case, you may or may not get a sympathetic ear. Cracks usually indicate some form of abuse or improper handling on your part or whomever had ahold of the machine. If the cracks appeared after it being manhandled by security improperly, you might have a case against the security or airline where you passed it through. There are also cases which Apple does document where the power adapter can fail to charge. I've listed some of those documents and given a few tips of my own, on*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
    Apple did have a battery exchange program on some MacBooks and MacBook Pros, but that exchange program has been over for awhile. Still if you bring it in to an authorized service center, you might find a sympathetic ear there. Just remember warranty is only for manufacturer defects, it is not for user induced damage. That's what insurance is for, such as travel insurance and home owners insurance.
    You can find service providers under this website:
    http://www.apple.com/de/buy/shop/
    After entering the nearest Apple shop, you'll find a button that says search if that isn't an authorized dealer, and get a map, that says below it "Sie moechten" with a pulldown menu beneath it "einen Mac Kaufen" Change that pulldown menu and select "Service Finden", and type to the right where you reside or "wohnen". Then click on Suchen.
    This will give you all the authorized service providers in that location.

  • Customer Service while traveling Internationally

    I am currently on business in India and would like to contact customer service but am unable to do so through the 1-800 number. I have sent e mails through the website but have received no response. My inquiries are regarding possible international calling plans that would allow me to not be charged full roaming fees. I have an HTC Droid Eris which is not a world phone but still works here, apparently because of other CDMA networks here. I would also like to pay my bill for this month but am apprehensive to do so online because of India being known for very poor internet security and frequent credit card scamming. Any response would be very appreciated.

    I am sorry to hear you are having trouble contacting Customer Service while traveling internationally. I have researched some information and will be glad to  provide you with a number you can contact Customer Service while out of the United States.
    CDMA – 1 908-559-4899 
    GSM - 1 908-559-4899 
    You can also dial 908-559-4899 from a non Verizon Wireless device or landline. 
    I hope this information is helpful to you! Please let us know if you are still experiencing difficulties contacting Verizon Wireless.

  • Blackberry Travel - Charging in Euros instead of CAN$ !!!

    I'm using BB Z10 and I used Blackberry Travel app to book a hotel while traveling in the US (I'm from Quebec Canada). The application has charged me in Euros instead of CAD or US$. I realized this bug when my credit card was charged in Euros. Here are my questions:
    1) How do I correct this problem if I want to use the app for future reservations to make sure I get charged in the correct currency?
    2) Who should I contact to get refunded for the difference? Note: the application indicates Euros when it confirms the purchase, so Credit card company might not accept the claim.
    Thanks

    The settings were okay. However, I believe I found the bug...
    In the Homescreen Settings, I had selected French as the Language and Canada Français as the Region.
    When I try to reserve a hotel in the Travel App (example Naples, FL), a list of hotels appear with the price per night. The currency indicates CAD (when it's actually Euros). Then when you make the hotel selection, you will see in the next page that the Euros currency is indicated with the same amount as in previous screen.
    This error does not occur however, when you select English as the Language in the Homescreen settings, and you try to do a hotel reservation in the travel app, the currency is indicated in CAD and the amount in CAN$.
    So, although I was charged in Euros on the credit card, the application misguided me because I thought the amount was in CAN $ when it was actually in Euros. I did get charged what I was supposed to get charged (amount wise) on my credit card, if you do the math (1.31 CAD/Euros exchange rate).
    Hope this helps!

  • Use ABES with Ibahn while traveling for multi access

    I want to use both my iphone and MacBookPro with my AirportExpressExtreame while traveling and staying in hotels. the Ibahn access point want to charge me 2X's for each device, I have been able to do this with the standard express but since upgrading to the extreme i cant find the option to reassign. Is there a way to let the ABES to assign ip's to trick the IBAHN from charging me twice?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Thanks duane
    Under the Internet tab of the Airport utility there is a Connection Sharing drop down with these choices
    *Off (Bridge Mode)*
    *Share a public IP*
    *Distribute a range of IP's*
    I have it set to off but not sure where and how to set up to share a single address.

  • MacBook Alum battery heating up while being charged and used

    MacBook Alum battery heating up while being charged and used at the same time.
    Is this normal? Or is it only mine? :S

    The battery itself as in the bottom left side of the notebook or the white magsafe adapter that is actually plugged in? Either way, it is supposed to get warm unless you are talking burning hot on fire. Then of course it is a little too warm.

  • How can I use the Netflix app on my iPad while traveling outside the US?

    Is there any way to use the Netflix app on my iPad while traveling out of the country? I am curently in Russia. I downloaded software to mask my IP address on my laptop. Is this possible for the iPad?

    There's no way to mask or hide an IP address on an iPad that I am aware of. As to using Netflix from outside of your country, ask Netflix about that.
    Regards.

  • Can i use my iphone while its charging for the first time

    i just got the iphone 6. when i turned it on for the first time it had like half battery, i let it fully die and now im charging it for the first time. can i use it while its charging? every phone ive ever had had such a crappy battery life. i wanna finally have a good battery! lol

    Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
    That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

  • Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

    Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

    On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

  • App store no longer works after installing iOS6 while traveling

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4S that I updated to iOS 6 while traveling in Brazil.  Now, even though my Apple account was created in the U.S. tied to the U.S. App Store, when I open the App Store it automatically goes to the Brazilian App Store and pops up an error message that my account is invalid for use in the Brazil App Store because it is an American account.  I've been using the App Store just fine for years from various countries as I travel.  It has always gone directly to the U.S. App Store regardless of where I am in the world.  Now it only seems to pull up the Brazilian App Store and not allow me to update apps or make purchases.
    My question is has anyone else experienced this?  Is it because I updated to iOS 6 while physically traveling in Brazil so the phone thinks it is a Brazil-based phone or is it a bug in iOS 6 that prevents you from using App Store while outside the U.S.?  I haven't been able to test what it does when I'm in the U.S. as I haven't returned yet.  All of my settings on the phone are in English and set up for U.S. settings - there's no setting in the phone set up for Brazil or the Portuguese language.
    If this is because I installed iOS 6 while in Brazil, how do I fix that?  Do I have to re-install iOS 6 while in the U.S.?  If so, how do I trigger a re-install and what do I do in the meantime to use App Store while traveling?  Is there a work-around that allows me to switch it from the Brazil App Store to U.S. App Store?  The error message I receive indicates that I need to change to the U.S. App Store in order to install apps but doesn't mention how to do that, as there don't appear to be config options in App Store.
    Any help would be appreciated..
    Thanks,
