Charging iPad when travelling overseas

I bought the PlugBug World iPad/iPhone Charger (I live in Canada). When I travel to Australia can I just plug my iPad in with it, or do I need something to convert the power too?

Thank you for your feedback. I suspected that it would be okay, but I just wanted to be sure as I didn't want to fry my iPad

    Can I use a car charger for an IPhone to charge my Ipad when traveling?

    Not effectively
    All iphone charger in car and wall chargers produce 5w
    the iPad requires 10w ,you can get 10w USB plugs to fit the car
    power socket ( cigarette lighter)
    Belkin and Griffin make quality versions of the charger

    With Airplane Mode you will not receive phone calls.  If you are just worried about Data Charges then just go to Settings>Cellular>Data 'Off'  This may also turn your iMessage off such that all your iMessages even in a WiFi environment go out as Text Messages.  If you still want to use iMessage from Apple device to Apple device in a WiFi network then go to Settings>Messages> and turn it back on after you have set Cellular Data to Off.  Ckuan is correct though about having some per minute received or outgoing call and text charges.  For one example, if you were traveling in Canada but didn't have a Canada Plan you would pay about 89 cents per minute and 50 cents per send / receive Text.

    How to secure iPhone and iPad when traveling abroad against xtra charges?

    You can either put them in "Flight Mode" ( Found in settings. This feature disables 3G, 4G and Wifi), or you can go into your settings and turn off mobile networking ( also found in settings, this allows you to connect to wifi, but disables mobile networking)

  • Thinking of replacing my macbook with an ipad for travel overseas, can I plug my iphone4 into the ipad for charging?

    thinking of replacing my macbook with an ipad for travel overseas, can I plug my iphone4 into the ipad for charging?

    no
    the USB does not out out enough power to charge anything.
    And if you want to share chargers it's best to share your iPad charger with your iPhone. the iPad charger is a 10W charger, the iPod ones are 5W. So it'll charge, just not as fast as 'normal'

  • HT4060 Is there a way to charge iPad when in the car?

    Is there a way to charge an iPad when in the car?

    Buy a car charger for the iPad (not for iPhone, make sure it is a 10W one)
    Another way is to get a power inverter that turns your power point into a plug in and then use the iPad's regular charger

  • Using iPad when travelling to Europe

    Can I use my iPad in Italy and other places in Europe.  Am only interested in connecting via WiFi?
    Is there anything special I need to do this?

    Here is my experience April 2014   (Ipad 4)
    I purchased a Lebara sim card (data only) in Amsterdam near the central train station from Phone Point, (Address:  Haring Pakkers--Steeg2-4, 1012 LR).    It was on a small side street, not a main street where prices are much higher.  The card worked all over Holland.  The young man was very helpful, helped me decide how many gigs I would need, and made sure it was connected before I left the store.  I felt he was  honest.  He changed the APN number.  (If you have a current sim card, be sure to take a picture on your ipad  in Settings before the number is changed, so you can change back when you return to the USA.  I have a Verizion sim card, but it automatically changed when I reinserted it back in my iPad when I came back to Los Angeles.)
    When I arrived in Prague, I purchased a data sim card from Vodafone at the main train station.  Again, the young man who waited on me was very helpful.   He changed my APN and made sure it worked before I left the store. 
    If you change sim cards like I did, take a picture in Settings of the APN number.  I returned to Holland, so I used the Lebara sim card again after returning from Prague.  I had the APN pic in my Camera Roll, so I referred to the picture to change the APN.
    You will need an adapter to charge your iPad. 
    They can be purchased here in USA or in Europe at phone stores,

  • Use of U.S. iPad when traveling to Philippines

    When traveling to Philippines from U.S., how would you set up use of your iPad (unlimited U.S. cellular data plan) for the metro Manila area?

    Go to the mall and buy a Globe (local telecom) Tattoo sim, and cut it down to microsim size (it's easy. Google is your friend). It comes loaded with quite a bit of funds already, but I don't recall how much. Shut off your iPad, install the Globe sim, and re-start. Follow these instructions:
    * Go to Settings.
    * Press Reset then Reset Network Settings.
    * Go to Cellular Data.
    * Press APN.
    * Change APN to: http.globe.com.ph (for pre-paid service)
    * Deactivate Wi-Fi to be able to browse using the SIM (click Wi-Fi menu, turn-off)
    Data rate is Php5/15 minutes or something along those lines. Very reasonable. 3G data speeds may vary quite a bit in Manila. You can do something similar with SMART (the other major cell carrier), but I don't have that set up.
    I know it works, I've done it on my iPad..

  • Using iPad when travelling

    When I am abroad on holiday I sometimes need to use my iPad to  receive large photo and video files.
    Worse, I am often in places with poor wi-fi coverage.
    How reliable is 3G at downloading video files?
    How can I locate wi-fi hotspots when travelling?

    I have an app called 'free wifi finder' by jiwire, inc
    and it has a database to find wifi hotspots, and an offline database you can download as well. Seems to do pretty well for me.
    At the very least you could look at it and see what entries it has for where you're going, just to get an idea.

  • How secure is iPad when travelling?

    I plan to take my WiFi only iPad 2 with me for about three weeks of travel.  How secure will I be using free hotel, or Starbucks, or airport WiFi networks?

    There's no need to worry yourself over things like this, unless the information is highly confidential...
    Few incidents occur where someone will actually bother to log onto a public network and then hack into others' computers/devices in order to gain access to information such as credit card numbers etc... computer viruses and trojans are much better designed for this kind of job.
    If security really is a concern, consider using a VPN to access the internet after you have connected to a network.

  • Using Message+ when traveling overseas

    I use Message+ on my phone, tablet, and desktop computers.  I'm planning a trip overseas, and don't plan to buy an international plan.  If I keep my phone in airplane mode and use Wifi, can I use Message+ without getting charged for any phone usage?

    Yes

  • HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

    I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

    Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

  • Cannot send email from bigpond account when using overseas telco network

    I am sure this question has been asked and answered before but I cannot find a definitive answer on this forum I am on the Telstra network locally but when I travel to Malaysia I use a local SIM card with data, as the rates are much cheaper than anything Telstra can matchI find I can receive emails on my bigpond email account but cannot send. Can someone from Telstra publish something in this forum or on the general Telstra help pages on what settings to use exactly so that you can send and receive emails from your bigpond account while using another network overseas. I have tried changing the outgoing mail server account to the local network provider's but I am still unable to send Thanks

    Hi Mazzi,
    When travelling overseas you can access your BigPond mailbox through an email program, or via the BigPond Webmailhttp://messaging.bigpond.com/inbox.do or http://webmail.bigpond.com/webedge/do/oldlogin. If you choose to use an email program, some settings will need to be adjusted, as mentioned below.
    While there are no 'perfect' settings which will work every time and from every country, it may as simple as adjusting the Authentication on the outgoing mail server.
    If you are accessing the internet via another Internet Service Provider (ISP), but want to send email through our outgoing mail server using your BigPond email address, then you must activate SMTP authentication. For the purposes of this, think of an 'SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server' as the outbound mail server.
    Make sure that you have adjusted the outgoing port settings as listed below, or configure your mail client so that it uses the service provider's SMTP server, with SMTP Authentication disabled. If you are uncertain on what this is, you can usually search for this online, or alternatively contact the service provider that is providing your internet access.
    If you are uncertain which mail platform you are on, you can confirm this by logging in here.
    The complete list of email settings (including IMAP for Outlook.com accounts) can be found here.
    Should you require immediate assistance while overseas, our BigPond Technical Support Team are available 24 hours, 7 days a week via Live Chat
     

  • I will be traveling to Rome and Paris.  I'm concerned about frying my IPad when charging the battery.  Will I need a converter/adapter to charge the battery or do I just need an adapter.

    what RBRY says. Look at the fine print on your power brick. It says 100v-240v. This means it can handle world wattage.....both the us 110 and the UK/and other places 220. Anything that displays that range works anywhere in the world with the right plug adapter.
    You can get plug adapters at walgreens, walmart, target, kmart, best buy, office max, office depot.....almost any major retailer. Look in the travel/luggage area.
    Do some googling and find out what Italian plugs look like or you can simply find a kit that is a 'world wide' kit.
