IPhone use to and from French phones while I'm IN FRANCE.

I will be traveling to France, and I have several friends who live in France. How can I use my iPhone to make/receive calls to and from a FRENCH phone number while I am in France? Or should I just buy a télécarte and use a pay phone? Et oui, je me débrouille assez bien en français, je crois.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest software update
Thanks

Hi/Salut!
Obviously, your French is quite good! The answer to your question lies in the voice & data plan you have, and the roaming costs it implies; buying a pre-paid card is an option, though it's not easy since your iPhone uses a micro-SIM card. You could buy a micro-SIM card alone from one of the main French mobile phone operators and MVNOs, but strangely enough, Orange, who introduced the first iPhone in France, doesn't propose one. Bouygues Télécom or SFR should provide one for you for a few bucks, with or without data plan. Up to you to take a monthly plan if you think you'll come to France often enough, but if you're not going to call home to often, a simple prepaid voice plan should suffice. Should the micro-SIM option not exist, well, a good scissor can do the trick... If your iPhone is not simlocked... Another option yet is to install Skype on your iPhone, buy some credit and call your Gallic friends when you're in the vicinity of a WiFi hotspot.
As the French often say, "il n'y a pas de problème, seulement des solutions"...

Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon

IPhone doesnt sleep and then makes call while in purse

I have noticed that sometimes my wifes phone will stay on the last screen and not go to sleep and make me slide the bar to use phone again. I started looking into this when I started getting calls from her and just hearing people talking in the background. I caught it today when she came home. She sat her purse down and then the phone rang, guess who it was, the iPhone checking up on us. Not funny. She had not used the phone in almost 20 min since she called and said she was on her way home from work.
I also have noticed her battery barely making it through a day without being charged. Thats with the phone being used to call me a few times and sitting in her purse apparently on and not sleeping it turns out.
Anyone have any ideas of how to stop this. I dont want to find out she has a boyfriend from the iPhone telling on her lol...
Thanks.

My wife and I both have new iPhone 3Gs. This morning we got our first taste of the random "ghost" calling from her phone. It dialed my iPhone 7 times and the home phone twice in a matter of minutes. When I tried to call her it would hang up the call on its own (not drop) within a matter of seconds. Internet, text, and other features were working fine. She had full bars on AT&T. Here is the solution that we found. Power off the phone and power it back on. Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until a red power off slider appears and turn off the phone. Then turn it back on. Problem solved. I am sure that there is some reason that the phone program on the iPhone flipped out, but I don't have an explanation on that; just that powering the phone off and on solved the problem in our case. Our next step would have been a reset, but it didn't come to that.

i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

HT201335 What causes the TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone?

What causes TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone 4?

First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.
To get a report of the network go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC). Look for signal strength and noise.
If on wifi try ethernet.

Yes you can use earphones or earbuds. You can use iPhone or iPod earbuds and there are many other headphones that will work with the iPad - and bluetooth headphones wiill work as well.

HT200150 I pressed the find my iphone delete button and then my phone showed the apply logo. I then got worried and turned it straight off and now it will not turn back on. The apple logo just comes up for about 10 seconds and it goes back off.

Connect your phone to itunes on the computer you use itunes on and open up itunes.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Hi,
We would like to investigate what's going on but we will need more information from you. Please open a support ticket at this link: http://bit.ly/1aOwGy2 and a support agent will be in touch.

I was importing photos from my iphone to iphoto and updating the phone software at the same time, when the update completed the photos were gone from the phone and iphoto said the photos were not imported for unexpected reason.

if anyone can help me with this i would be so greatful, my son is one month old and my wife is heart broken the first month of his life has disappeared from her phone.

I would post in the iPhone forum. While iPhoto was importing basically this is an iPhone question
And in the future you probably never want to update and import at the same time. Basically nothing good can come from that

I replaced my iPhone screen myself and now my phone is over heating. i have no idea if its under warranty and if so will apple do anything even though i took it apart?

So my iPhone screen cracked and i ordered a new screen to replace it. Finally when i finished i went to turn it on and the screen just stayed blank. I plugged it in and the apple symbol came up but then went off, and kept doing this. so i let it set for about an hour and tried again. it gave the charging symbol and just stayed on this for about half an hour. i unplugged it and when i did it just went off. after a while it did come back on but it began to overheat and the battery lasts about 45 minutes. i took the back off and its the logic board that is hot and not the battery. can this be fixed? i dont know if its under warranty but if it is will they replace it after the fact that i took it apart?

In the U.S.:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer.

My iphone is broken, text from other phone go to ipad as an imessage. How do i stop this?

My iphone 4 is broken, cannot access anything on there at all. I am currently using my sim in an old Samsung phone, whenever I text someone that has an iphone or they text me I do not receive the reply it go to my ipad as an iMessage.
I need to stop this as missing lots of messages! How do I do this?
Many thanks

To fix this requires puttting your sim in your iPhone 4 & turning iMessage off...which you say you can't do; logging into your Apple support profile online & removing your iPhone 4...that is if you setup a support profile. You can also go to Settings>Messages>Send/Receive, on your iPad, and remove your phone number.

Why is it that despite my caller ID being set as my email address, my iPhone randomly send iMessages from my phone number?

Sometimes my friends I'm in a group message with ecieve my iMessage from my email address and other times its from my phone number. I have the caller id for iMessages set as my email address so I can receive them on my iPad too but my iPhone randomly decides to still send it from my phone number sometimes. Why?
