FIRST you must have your phone account enabled for International roaming. You call them to do this. Then you add a voice roaming package, that reduces your call costs from $1.29/minute to $0.99 per minute. For data it's a little better.
I suggest adding the data roaming package, but when you get to Ireland go to any phone store and buy a cheap phone (~ £20) and a pay-as-you-go SIM and use it for voice calls. You can add and remove the data roaming package, however, it must remain on the phone for 1 billing cycle.
Almost forgot the link to roaming package options: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-package s.jsp#data

IP Reserved for Internal Usage?
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but what does the following LAN setting in a Router do/refer to?

Hi Malcolm,
Networking address space for the IP protocol is broken into classes — A, B, and C. (There is also Class D for multicasting and Class E for a small set of very reserved,“don't ever touch these” addresses.) In each of the Class A and Class C spaces, there are address ranges reserved for internal, non-Internet use (or a non-Internet routing space for IP traffic). There are two ranges in the Class A space: the 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 range (also represented as 10.x.x.x) and the 172.0.0.0 to 172.255.255.255 range (172.x.x.x) You may be using one of these spaces in your networks for internal addresses assigned to various hosts (network devices).
Hope to Help !!

Use the iphone for international use
I LIVE IN THE USA, I PREFER TO BUY THE IPHONE 5.
MY PROBLEM IS: I TRAVEL OFTEN TO EUROPE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MODEL TO BUY? THE A1428GSM OR A1429GSM?
PLEASE HELP ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCHEgilbbys21... I am curious how things worked out with getting a nano SIM and your iPhone 5. Our family will be visiting Manila this summer, and I would like to hear a first-hand account about your phone experiences. Do you purchase minutes for call/texting? What about data? Any feedback you can give from your trip regarding your iPhone usage would be helpful. Thanks!

I want an iphone that I can use in europe and the US. How would i get that
The GSM capability will allow you to use an ATT iPhone either in the States ( on GSM networks) or in Europe ( on GSM networks)..you just need to setup the account properly on the ATT end. Not sure if this is for temporary use or for permanent movement back and forth, but either way an ATT iPhone will work in both areas if the account is set up right by the cell provider.

Can i use iphone to iphone for free international call and text?
Can i use iphone to iphone for free international calls and text messages?
If both iPhone users are on iMessage, texting will be free, though there may be data charges if you do not have Wi-Fi. You can use FaceTime Audio in iOS 7 and later to call people but regular phone calls still count against your phone plan.

Unlocking my Iphone 5c for international use?
I purchased an Iphone 5c (blue) from a online store directed to my country. I got it new and It's locked with USA Sprint carrier, the strange thing is that it came with a Sprint chip inside which made me able to semi-activate my phone, but right now I can't use it with Dominican Republic's carriers since I need to unlock it. I'm desesperate, I'm all uncommunicated, It's been a month since I got this Iphone full new in it's box.
The chip's number is: 309-253-9769 but it seems it's no activated. I tried to create an account in the sprint website but it says the number its invalid. I don't want to sell this phone because I love itttt! What can I do?
I asked if theres a way to unlock it here but I got negative response from everybody. Is there a way to make Sprint Unlock my phone for international use permanently?
I'v always lived here in Domincan Republic, never traveled anywhere, I purchased this phone by myself.
What can I do?
Thank you.You bought a gray market phone. Sprint will only unlock phones for current Sprint customers in good standing. If you're not a Sprint customer, they will not unlock it for you at all.
Return it and get your money back if you can.
Next time, buy your phone from an authorized source. -
I travel between countries often for my work. What is the best iphone to use for international calling at a reasonable cost?
All six Uk carriers carry the iPhone officially and micro sims are very common therefore
PAYG is very common in UK every carrier offers a number of packages but all commitment free

I'm just a little confused about how international usage works. If you don't sign up for any kind of plan and take your iPhone (to say India, where I'll be headed), will the phone still work and if so, what charges will apply? I will be using the call and voicemail feature little to none and I won't be getting incoming calls, but what about text messaging and safari? How much will those cost me if I don't agree to any plans? Or will none of it work at all?
Alice K,
You will want to enable International Roaming with AT&T before you leave to allow you to make/receive calls internationally. AT&T would be your best source for international charges for calls and text messages. You can read the following article for more information about international travel with your iPhone:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1686
International data charges can get fairly expensive. The new iPhone 2.0 software will enable you to turn airplane mode on (which disables cell networks, so you will not receive calls or use the cell data network) but also turn Wi-Fi on, so you can still access local Wi-Fi networks and hotspots. Therefore you can still browse on Safari when you are within range of a Wi-Fi network without being worried about data charges. In this mode, you will not receive calls or missed call notifications, however. You can find out more information about the iPhone 2.0 software by watching this guided tour:

Hope this helps,

International Usage - WARNING - Outrageously expensive!
I bought a iPhone the day it was released, absolutely love it, and a week later went to Europe. The phone works great over there and so does EDGE, i.e just as slow as here..
Got home, received my first AT&T bill: THEY CHARGED ME $940 FOR INTERNATIONAL DATA ROAMING - TOTAL USAGE WAS 40MB.
I called AT&T and complained - I didn't recall the promo for "unlimited data" clearly excluded international - was told "they happen to have a $24.99/month international data plan for the iPhone with 20MB of data" - no unlimited data plan was available, even though you can get one if you have a 3G card for your laptop.
Also, while international roaming IT WILL COST YOU 50 CENTS PER SMS YOU SEND AND 15 CENTS TO RECEIVE ONE - NO PLAN IS AVAILABLE!
The end of my story was I got 20MB for $24.99 but I had to pay $470 for the other 20MB.......
So if you plan to use your iPhone internationally:
- Tell everyone not to send you SMS's and don't send one yourself
- Don't use Google Maps, Safari or Mail, unless in Wi-Fi zone
- Alternatively get the 20MB plan
I can only conclude current AT&T policies is a total rip-off when it comes to international usage. Maybe it would be cheaper to get an account with the European carrier later this year. AT&T surely needs some competition.I am sorry to say that I told everyone so (among others who did the same). The iPhone is NOT a good international device. I posted several comments on this. Be aware that it is not just downloading items yourself, Internet use or email/messaging. The iPhone has a serious operational deficiency in that constantly updates the weather, clock and stock Widgits throughout the day. Over a week or two this can add up to hundreds of KB and you have no control over this. (I bet at least 30% of your charges are foir this, Check your datalogs and look for weird data access times such as in the wee hours of the morning).

IPhone 6 Battery Usage setting not working.
When I go to my setting and check my Battery Usage setting it states: "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes". I've been using it for hours and I get the same response when I go to the setting. I've turned off my phone multiple times to see if that would resolve it, but it hasn't. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Hello.
I have the same problem. iPhone 5, iOS8.0.2, used for a few days - still no usage statistics, only "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes".
I tried restore iPhone (DFU) without restoring backup from iCloud/iTunes, resets, hard-resets, erase all settings, drain battery to 0% and charge to 100% overnight etc. - nothing helps.
I wrote to the Apple about this problem.
Here is the page that you can use to contact with Apple and report a bug - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Please, give the title of "iOS8 battery usage statistics not working" (or something like that), choose the "Bug report" and describe the problem. Perhaps it will make that Apple will eliminate this problem in the next version of iOS. More report - greater chance.

IPhone 6 Battery Usage function not working
Battery Usage feature continues to read; "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes" even though I have now had the phone and used it for one week. Using iPhone 6, 64G, IOS 8.0.0.(no iOS updates have yet been applied)
A few days ago I attempted some suggestions posted by others. One of those was to let the battery drain to zero then fully charge. This had no affect on the Battery Usage feature. Another suggestion that i tried was to close all open apps on phone, then shut down phone and then turn back on. This did not resolve the Battery Usage issue either.
Is apple aware of this issue? Any help would be appreciated.Hello.
