Can I use my IPhone 5 in Europe?

So I'm going to Switzerland next week and want to know if I can use my IPhone 5C while I'm there?

Thanks for asking about your device options while roaming through Switzerland, ellenajnos! The good news is yes, your iPhone 5c will work in that country. The better news is you can also add features to your account to enhance your experience and help you control the costs! Have a look at this great tool to plan your trip: http://vz.to/1k7RFqd

Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions. This is what I understand:
Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
Activate new iPhone
Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
QUESTIONS:
Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini? Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6? Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name.
Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only? Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone? Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
I appreciate any insights and answers. Thanks in advance!
Daphne

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

How much should/can I use my iphone 5 in Europe?

I'm vacationing in Europe next month and will be visiting London, Paris and Rome. I've heard all the stories about people coming home to outragous phone bills. I've also heard some suggestions on how to reduce the possibility of this happening. I'm assuming that all of this still applies to the iPhone 5. I'm under the impression that this phone is considered a "world phone", but I realize that roaming is roaming.
I understand that while I'm out exploring the streets of Europe, I shouldn't be scrolling my Facebook or Instagram feeds or updating apps. I know I should only be doing these things while on wifi. I also plan on bringing my Macbook so I can check emails and upload photos, etc.., again, only while back at the hotel on wifi.
I'm just wondering what if I happen to be out and about and need to use Maps for directions? What if I need to call the hotel for something, or call a business for general information? Can I check yelp to see if a restaurant is any good, or will that cost me more than the meal itself? How about sending and iMessage to check in with a family member back home. If I get seperated from someone I'm traveling with, is it going to cost me an arm and a leg to call them to find out where they are? Will my phone even work?
I know that Verizon has an international calling plan, but I'm not sure if this is for a short term vacationer like myself, or for those that travel frequently.
Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks
(Verizon is my carrier by the way)

Can I use my iPhone 5S in Europe with the global services? Am I exposed to extra roaming charges?

I am also traveling in the middle of a billing cycle. Can I change my billing cycle to avoid this?

Yes you can use the 5S in Europe. It is all roaming charges and expensive. You can't change your billing cycle, though I am not sure why you want to Change it. Check out Verizon global information to know rates in each country you are visiting. Just so you are clear WARNING WARNING. If you do not know what you are doing and use your phone in foreign countries, including all the countries of Europe, you can rack up tens of thousands (YES greater than $10,000) with very little effort. Unless you know what you are doing, put the phone in airplane mode, and only then turn wifi on only.

Can I use my iPhone in Europe?

Indeed you can. Beware of data roaming, charges, however, where you are charged through the nose for a data connection abroad. Your phone company may sell overseas data plans, or you may consider getting a SIM card for one of the providers of the country you're visiting.
You can turn off data roaming in Settings --> General --> Network --> Turn Data Roaming to 'off'.

Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

It didn't work for me during my February 2013 visit to Switzerland. The Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone 4S works fine when I am in the US. Upon arrival in Switzerland, my phone connected to the Swisscom network. Phone calls, SMS, Web, and E-mail worked fine on the iPhone. Funny is the Personal Hotspot feature completely disappeared from the settings menu while there. It reappeared once I was back in the US.

Sure. I'd suggest you install a mapping application where the data is stored locally on your phone. Much faster & less data usage.

Can i use my iphone internationally?

I have a verizon iphone. It won't make calls when i'm in europe. Is there a way to use texting and posting to the internet anyway?

From Verizon's Q&A's:
Can I use my iPhone 4 while traveling abroad?
Yes, you can use iPhone 4 for voice and text in over 40 countries with data service in over 20 countries. For service availability and rate information, refer to the International Roaming Rates and Coverage. When travelling outside of these 40 destinations, the Global Travel program is the perfect short-term solution for the occasional or infrequent global traveler who needs to stay in touch when travelling internationally.

HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

Can someone help? I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

I have iphone 3 GS. I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed. All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone. It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc. when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again". Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up. Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed. I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing. don't know what's wrong with it.

Yes, you can have as many devices - iPhones, iPods, iPads - as you like using the same iTunes account.

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.
