HT4203 I am going out of the country and do not want calls.  How do Prevent any?

How do I turn the phone off in another country so I don't get any robo calls or voice messages at high international rate.?

No, No, No. You will not get charged unless you turn the phone on and check the messages in the foreign country. If you have airplane mode on the whole time you are overseas then how would the phone company know you are overseas. The phone has to handshake with the cell tower to know where it is. Your last sentence explained it all. As soon as you turn it on and check those messages, yes you will be charged international rates because you are using international cell towers.

  • My daugter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi

    My daughter is out of the country and can't connect to WiFi or make any calls.  We added International Calling to her phone plan.  While she was in the airport in the US the problem started, and continued once she reached her destination.  Verizon can't figure out what the problem is, and I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • If I am going out of the country will turning roaming off work or will I still be busted with a big phone bill?

    I am going out of the country tomorrow and was wondering if I turn off roaming will it work or will I be getting a nice big phone bill ? I have heard of some people getting charged with a lot and others turn airplay mode on but don't recieve messages when they are connected to wifi or when they turn airplay mode off. Help please ?

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

    I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
    Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
    In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

    I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. I will travel to Europe and would like to know if I need a current covertidor 220-110 for my equipments. I have an adapter, but that did not change the flow and do not want to risk it. Thank you.

    All you need is a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. All Apple chargers work on any voltage from 110 - 240 worldwide.

  • Help!!! the app Iphoto is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    I was editing my photos and adding them to a album and suddenly the app is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode.  I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone.  How can I fix this

    My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode.  I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone.  Is there a way for me to use  my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

    Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number.

  • How do I shut off receiving phone and text messages when I a out of the country but instill want to send and receive emails emails

    How do I shut off receiving phone and text messages when I am out of the country.  I still want to be able to email and receive email on wifi

    Enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access.

  • When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

    my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

    iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

  • Problem sending e-mails out of the country

    My dad is out of the country and when he tries to send an e-mail from his phone (over wifi) it wont send. He gets an error saying the server is blocked (or something like that). He always has his BCC on. But when he deletes his name form the BCC spot it will send no problem. Why is he having this problem when the BCC is on?

    Hi,
    Just as our MVP mentioned, it's not possible to send all email in a folder at once. However, there are some workarounds. For example, we can disable “Send immediately when connected”. To do this, open your Outlook and go to File > Options > Advanced
    > Scroll down to the "Send and receive" section. Clear the check box before "Send immediately when connected". Now, all sent items will stay in Outbox and Outlook will
    only send messages during the scheduled send/receive interval (for instance, every 30 minutes).
    For more information, please refer:

    Hope this helps.
