Can I disable Cellular data (US Data plan) and still use the Find My Iphone Service (GPS??) in France?

I have a US Model iPhone 4 (ATT).  I'll be traveling to France for 2 months and I'd like to be able to disable my cellular data while on travel.
My questions:
- Can I do this and still access Wifi? I think yes
- Can I do this and still use Skype? I think yes
- Can I do this and still use GPS for the Find My iPhone Service?  I don't know....
- If I can't do any of the above then what are my options?
JC

Find my Phone requires a data connection. If cellular data is turned off, it will be pretty much useless unless you are constantly connected to WiFi, which of course you won't be. Same with Skype, data connection required, so will work when connected to WiFi. Unlees the mapping data is stored locally on your phone, GPS will be useless, as the built in Maps app requires a data connection as none of the data is stored on your phone.

  • Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

  • Can I buy a SmartPhone without getting the data plan, and just using the wifi?

    I was looking into buying an iPhone or smartphone of some sort, but don't want the data plan. Can I get a smartphone or iPhone without the data plan and just normal service?

    AT&T GoPhone plan does not require a data plan, you can activate a smart phone on a basic gophone plan.  However, if you don't turn data off at the carrier level, you will get a per use charge for data.
    IT is not how the phone and service is expected to work, yet it can and does.  If it works on AT&TA, it will probably work on Verizon also.
    I will repeat, this is not how it is designed to work.

  • If my iCloud storage is full can I still use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Basically I lost my phone. When using the app I tried to play the sound and I cannot hear it. The location says its at my house but my iCloud has been full and I didn't know if the location has been updated. Urghh so frustrating!! Does the phone update the location regardless of iCloud storage amount? Also if the battery is dead will This work??

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with using Find My Phone.
    If your battery is dead, other than physically looking for your phone, there's no way to locate it.

  • Can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

    can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

        Great question dreyfusdad !
    I understand it’s always good to be aware of the changes once your contract is completed and I’m happy to help you. You can log into My Verizon to view the contract end date. Tikibar1, thank you for pointing in the right direction; it will automatically continue to bill you as usual, but it will be on a month to month basis. It will keep you on a post paid account; however, if you wanted to transfer to a Prepaid account the process may be different. We’d love the opportunity to review your account for the best plan for you. Please let us know if we can help you with that.

  • Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6  on the street

    Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option,  all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 +  on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
    Thank you very much

    Hey Joangil,
    Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,
    Zach

    If you didn't enable the Find My iPhone function, then you can't track the iPhone.  But it sounds like you did have it turned on, if you're seeing that it's listed in the Find My iPhone app or on icloud.com.  But are you sure it's the same device?  If you had a previous iPhone, and the name of both iPhones was the same, it would make it difficult to know which phone was which, even if they both were listed.
    In any event, an offline device is not trackable.  It could be offline because A) it has no power or B) it is not connected to the internet via cellular data or wi-fi.
    Until it comes back online (and it may never), then it cannot be remotely tracked.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • HT5922 Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Can I airplay a movie from safari on my MacBook to Apple TV and still use the computer for something else at the same time?

    Hi frogjt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Great question! You can absolutely do this in OS X 10.9. The attached article explains how the process of using AirPlay with Apple TV to create a second display. Also, towards the bottom of the article there are instructions on how to set your Displays preferences on the computer to make sure the TV and MacBook Pro displays are set up the way you want them to be.

  • Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?

    Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it.  Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?

    i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
    Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors.

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my laptop and desktop using the same license?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my Laptop and Desktop using the same License?
    Thanks!

    For Photoshop CC:
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

  • Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

    Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
    You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.
