Can I update iOS7 while traveling abroad?

I have a Verizon iPhone 5, but no service. Will it activate?
I recall travelling abroad last year, and when I accepted an iOS 6.x update, it wouldn't activate. Not sure because I was traveling abroad, or if it needs a SIM to update.

Actually I took the plunge and tried updating anyway. I was able to update and activate successfully while in Bangkok, Thailand.
Only downside is that I was using a 3rd party lighting cable, which worked fine with iOS6, but not in iOS7. So now I have to find an OEM cable... =\

Can I use iPhone 5c while traveling abroad to obtain data connection? please help

Ask your carrier. It will depend on whether you have a plan that allows international roaming and whether that includes data.
You can use WiFi anywhere in the world where there is an available WiFi network you're authorized to connect to.

HT201210 what is the 'other' section of storage on my iPhone? I can't update iOS7 due to lack of storage!! And I have deleted almost everything.

I can't update iOS7 due to lack of space for the upgrade. I have hardly any songs, apps and pictures yet there is this 'other' storage which is over 4GB. What is it and how can I reduce it?

Thanks, I ended up just going to Apple and returning it and upgrading to a 16GB Iphone and just paying the price diffence. They had no problem doing that. So, for $100 plus 10% restocking, I got a brand new, double the capacity, Iphone.

Settings/General/Network - Data Roaming (off/on). If you plan to turn it on be sure to subscribe to a data roaming package or you could be hit with a bill for thousands of (your currency). And you also need to have your carrier provision your account for internatonal usage.

Can I Update ios7 In My Carrier Unlocked iPhone ?

When iOS 7 is launched, you will be able to upgrade, as iOS 7 will be supported on iPhone 4 and newer. Open Settings > General > Software Update, and you will be able to install it when launched.
iOS updates are launched by Apple and they don't depend on the carrier or device like Android, so iOS 7 will probably be released for all devices at the same time. It will be launched in fall

How to properly update iTunes content while traveling abroad?

Spent some time searching and found a number of threads covering T&Cs and whys and wherefores of US Citizens on extended overseas travel trying to update or purchase iTunes content. There's a lot of 'why not' but not much 'how to'.
I'm seeking the Apple-approved solution for those of us with US based iTunes accounts who are traveling or deployed overseas or take extended temporary jobs abroad. How can we legally, properly, update our podcast subscriptions, apps for iPhones, or purchase content?
Do we have to simply change the country setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store window, so we are interacting with whatever the local Store is and the content will live happily in iTunes no matter which Store it was purchased from?
Do we have to set up a new account with local credit card in every land we are assigned?
There has to be a way, it seems illogical that you can't update podcasts or apps while traveling. There's got to be an Apple-approved method for this!
If anyone knows the answer or a link to the answer or something near to it, please provide the info. The T&C are clear enough in regards to "purchases" and using the US store only from in the US, but doesn't answer the 'how-to' for customers traveling abroad who are not spending any money by getting new podcast episodes or free app updates.
So again, no need to rehash the T&C, just seeking the 'proper' way to update things if away for a while. I'll be stupefied if I hear that the official Apple answer is the iPhone content is frozen in place until I get back in US territory.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Chris.
After posting the message, I changed my iTunes Store to India (where there may be work opportunities) and there were only Apps and iTunes U content tabs, and the T&C were similar-can only shop at the store where you are connecting from. So unless the store looks different when logging in while physically in India, there wouldn't be a way to update podcasts.
I am concerned about an important distinction, though, which is 'what will work' vs. 'what is T&C compliant'...

Impossible complete downloading while traveling abroad

I did rent a movie before to start a travel abroad (my store is the US store). I then had troubles with connection and download was incomplete. Now the download just doesn't want to resume. I'm using an iPad and no meaningful message appears, just a generic error with any code.
Frustrating

OK last evenings efforts were futile!
Thanks for the replies but as I said there is no apple store with in Ireland with a guru bar (whole country!) therefore not an option! Using my boot disk I can get into recovery and it will allow me to download M/L (again for 30-40mins) then it will not install it properly! I have tried some other options today including deleting the app store cache with the reg command: open $TMPDIR../C/ - didn't help my "This Copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion Application can’t be verified". I just can not understand why it will not just let me reinstall software I have paid for on a computer I have bought...especially as it allowed me to creat a boot disk with that same software (which I am now using to type this!).
ANy further help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

Problem with 'No service' while traveling abroad

I am traveling abroad (Uganda) and cannot get service. I have traveled with my phone to Uganda previously (iPhone 5), and was able to send/receive text messages at that time. Prior to this trip, I called Verizon to ensure I had everything I needed in place for voice roaming. They told me that my phone was already enabled for global services. I did decline the global services package, but was told very clearly that I would be able to send/receive text messages and make/receive phone calls regardless of whether I purchased the package or not.
Since traveling through international airports and arriving in Uganda, my phone continues to say "no service" and cannot connect to any local signals. My husband is traveling with me, and his phone has no trouble picking up signals and he has sent/received several text messages. I have tried restarting my phone, taking it in/out of airplane mode, turning roaming on/off, etc. I do not understand what the problem is. I haven't had success trying to online chat. Will it cost me airtime to make a phone call to Verizon from my husband's phone? I don't want to incur large charges waiting on hold for 30 minutes.
I really need the ability to receive text messages while I am gone, in case of emergencies, and I am very frustrated. I ensured everything was in place prior to leaving, and my phone has worked overseas without issue previously. What is the problem, and how do I fix it??!!

Have you tried Resetting Network Settings yet? If not, I would...

Can´t send email while travelling

While travelling in Brazil, where Apple-users are a small minority, we have three times had difficulty connecting to the Internet. Once, in a shopping mall, we couldn´t even get in, but at a club and at a hotel we could browse the Internet and read email, but not send any.
Any ideas what could be going on?

The problem is that if your using the smtp server that you use at home this is normally provided by your ISP therefore is wont work on somebody elses connection unless they have the same isp as you.
The other issue is that if you are using an independent smtp server that may work on some internet connections but the trend for isp's is to block port 25 and only allow connection on that port for their own smtp server.
The way round this is get an smtp account with someone who runs their mail server on port other than 25.
googlemail, gmail and mobileme mail all use different ports than 25 if configure to use ssl and therefore get around this issue.
The trick that I have used in the past to send a mail on a a connection in a coffee shop or hotel is to goto http://whatismyip.com then open the terminal and issue the host command
host 2.2.2.2
and
whois 2.2.2.2
replace 2.2.2.2 with ip that whatismyip reported. Then you should find out the name of the isp. The google for that isp's smtp server

TS3694 Can't update iOS7 to Iphone 4 with error code 3004

Hi Support,
I can't upgrade my iphone 4 OS to iOS7. Please advise what error code 3004 means.
Regards,
Alex Man

From the article that the question was posted from:
Network connection or download errors
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.

I turned off cellular data, and data roaming while traveling abroad. I turned them back on upon arriving back home, but now only the wi-fi features works when trying to connect to the internet. Texting works, no internet function works unless wi-fi???

I turned off my cellula data and data roaming while abroad. I turned them back on when returning home. But now I can only access internet and mail functions when on wi-fi. texting works. The 3G access to the internet isn't working now. 3g is on. What do I need to do to restore non-wi-fi internet function. Roaming is on s well. ?????

Try to reset your iPhone:
Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Settings
You will need to rejoin all wi-fi and/or bluetooth connections
You will need to set up your settings of your choice.
Information (such as contacts and Calendars) and meida (such as music, videos, apps) are NOT affected.
