Can I use messaging in Europe even if I have a pre-paid SIM card?

I'm going to be in Spain in May and will buy a pre-paid SIM card with a local number.  As long as I have connection to the internet, via wifi or through the phone service there, will my friends and family be able to use my regular US number to text me?  Do I need to do anything to make this work before or after I get the pre-paid SIM card there?
I'd like this to be seamless for my friends and family to text me at the same number.

It makes sense, marklyn9063. If you are using a tablet overseas with WiFi, you will be able to access Verizon Messages without incurring roaming charges. However, in order to receive messages, you must have an active phone number.

    No. Vodaphone Egypt and Vodaphone Qatar are two different carriers. They have the same parent company, but you can not use a phone locked to Vodafone Egypt with a Vodafone Qatar SIM.

  • Can I use unlock US iphone 4s with a pay as you UK sim card

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s here in the US but I travel to the UK alot, so would I be able to use a pay as you go UK sim card with the US iphone 4s? as this would be the cheapest option instead of paying for roaming fees. I know that Apple states that it is a world phone but just wanted to make this absolute before running of to the store next month.

    You'll need to purchase an unlocked / SIM-free iPhone 4S in the US when the become available in November.
    Buy one now, and it will be locked to the network, with no way of unlocking it.

  • Why can't I use a pre paid sim in my iphone that previously had a plan

    I have given my iphone 3g to my daughter and she is unable to use hervodaphone pre paid sim card in it.
    is it locked to telstra ?
    Is it because I was previously on a plan?

    Is this a MasterCard credit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside, a MasterCard debit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside in connection with a demand deposit account (checking/savings) that you maintain in that bank and have a verifiable billing address in that same country or is this a prepaid MasterCard debit card that you bought from a local store?

  • Want to use telstra bigpond mobile wi-fi 4g as a pre-paid after finished 2 year contract

    I have finished a 2 year contract and post paid plan on a Netgear aircard 760s and want to use it as a pre-paid but have been told it will not work with a pre-paid sim card. But looking up your websit for pre-paid mobile modems and it is included in the list of modems. Can I use a pre paid sim card in it or not?

    If it is a BigPond plan you had then it will not work correctly if at all as the 'BigPond devices will only work on the Telstra network and with a BigPond plan', if it was a Telstra plan then it would work as these are a normal phone service.
    Easiest way to tell them apart is on your bill a BigPond one will have an email address, a Telstra one will have a mobile number... otherwise the main difference is that the BigPond one is shaped/slowed and the Telstra one has excess data.
    You can in theory have the BigPond ones unlocked to work with Pre-Paid however as their firmware is optimised for the BigPond service it may still not work correctly.

    An iPhone 4 CDMA is CDMA only. It doesn't have any GSM circuitry and doesn't have a SIM slot. You can only use it on the network it was originally sold for.

    You can leave the charger plugged in, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Once every 2 ~ 3 months, its a good idea to drain the battery to about ~ 40%, then recharge to full. Otherwise, you can charge whenever you like & leave connected whenever you like.
    Try to avoid full battery discharges, Lithium batteries don't like that & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery.

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?

    i want to ask you if i will buy the ipad mini wifi from this site,after can i use it in Europe without problems?
    Thank you

    Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
    The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

    Hi Klevis
    Are you planning on paying full price for the phone?
    If so then getting it directly from Apple would be a better option - since the Apple store has unlocked phones now
    If you buy a T-Mo phone then you are bound by their unlock policy
    Unlock your mobile wireless device

  • If I buy an Ipad Air cellular in USA, can I use it in europe Denmark?

    if I buy an Ipad Air cellular in USA, can I use it in europe Denmark?

    Yes, GSM is the system used by AT&T and most of the world.  CDMA is the system used by Verizon, and some of the other smaller US-based carriers.  Buying the AT&T model will make life much easoier for you.
    If you are using an iOS device, the ampersand, &, almost always ends up coming through as &amp...regular users know that and just ignore the little quirk.
