Overseas travel plan

I will be travelling to China in a couple of weeks, and am reading up on what I need to do to enjoy my iPhone 4 while there.
I am horrified to read stories by folks who have data roaming OFF and come home to thousands of dollars worth of roaming charges. Ugh.
Here's my plan...does this sound reasonable?
As soon as we leave Seattle, I'll turn the phone to Airplane Mode. It will stay in that mode until I get home!
I'll turn WiFi on to use wifi in hotels, restaurants, etc.
I've subscribed to a VPN service so can VPN back to the US (hopefully). I can use Google Voice's app to text...
I'm really excited to use my phone for video and pictures. I assume photos will get geotagged properly even if I'm not on the cellular network?
Does this sound like a roaming-free plan to you?
Thanks,
Jesse

That hurts! No wonder you want no experience that too!
For more hints to help you, if your iPhone, for some reason, will get ready to accept 3G data network, the "3G" icon will display next the carrier name. If 3G blocked (or missing), it will not display. When my phone switches carrier, I see the 3G icon go off.
Have a nice time there!

    Want to buy a new ipad mini.  What is best carrier for overseas travel?  Are all plans month to month?

    No. Most plans from major carriers are minimum term contracts - usually two years. Month to month providers require you buy an unlocked device that may then be permanently tied to their service.

  • Third-Party Travel Planning with Amadeus E-Travel

    Hi all,
    I've just started to work with my client and Amadeus on implementing the third party travel planning functionality for integration between ECC (ERP 6.0 EHP6) and AeTM (the Amadeus e-Travel Management booking tool).
    I was wondering if anyone has implemented this and has any particular advice or guidance?
    @SAP, Amadeus advised that you have some user friendly documentation which shows screenshots of the basic customizing required for the initial set up.  I was hoping this could be something that you would be able to share?  I am going through the guidance on SAP Help and OSS notes but it would be great if we could see this more "friendly" document?
    Kind Regards,
    Jack

    17) Assign Fulfillment Sales Offices

    Hi,
    I am getting the same error (com.sap.pcuigp.xssfpm.java.FPMRuntimeException: User UGARG does not exist in this period). This user is already there in ECC as an employee and its validity is same in pa30 and su01. How did you resolve this issue?
    I am using EP 7.0 SP12, ECC 6.0 SP 12, PCUI/ESS SP 10
    I have installed the following business packages on portal server:
    Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP) - BPERP5ESS11_0-10003288.SCA
    SAP PCUI_GP 600 - SAPPCUIGP10P_1-20001215.SCA
    SAP ESS 600 - SAPESS10P_10-20000512.SCA
    What is the difference between SAPESS10P_10...sca and BPERP5ESS11_0...sca? Do I need to install both on portal server?

  • Issuing Ticket By an Employee in Travel Planning

    Hi All,
    We are Implementing Travel Module using EhP2 and have a requirement of allowing employee to Issue Tickets on thier own and also print E Ticket. I searched SAP help and found that in SAP we can configure the automatic Issuing of Tickets using queues and also that an employee can print the ticket using 'viewmytrip' site.
    I wish to know what configuration needs to be done for automatic Issuing of tickets and how can we get print the E ticket from SAP system
    Please let me know ASAP as this process will be a real show stopper for our project..
    Regards
    Stuck....

    Hello Stuck,
    Sorry for the delay. Please refer to the following information in help.sap.com:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/e2/4905387ce5fd3ce1000000
    9b38f8cf/frameset.htm
    Issuing a Ticket  
    Prerequisites
    The ticket can only be issued once the travel plan has been booked (see
    Booking Travel Services).
    Use
    Automatic Ticket Issue
    Generally a booking made using SAP Travel Management will automatically
    be sent to a processing queue of the travel agency connected with the
    company, whereby the travel agency can see that the booking has been
    completed and the ticket is then issued. When completing this automatic
    queuing the booking is sent to the queue of the sales office that is set
    up with the processing type "Booking/Booking Modification in Customizing
    (see Customizing for Travel Planning under Master Data -> Control
    Parameters for Travel Planning -> Define Resubmission for Ticket Issue
    (queue) You should use a queue for an operating sales office, and not
    the queues for the virtual SAP Travel Planning sales office.
