Re: overseas cellular forwarding

The responder didn't exactly answer the question.
The original poster's problem was that when he has his US Skype Number forwarded to his Peruvian Cell Phone, the cost is "beyond words." 
For me it costs about $1.00 per minute to forward my US Skype Number's calls to my Peruvian Cell PHone. 
I will ask the original poster's question again.  Is there a cheaper way to achieve this? 
Perhaps, by purchasing one of the plans listed on this page?  http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/pay-monthly/?intcmp=CS-Upsell-FA1214-2#PE
Please let me know... $39.99 for 400 minutes is MUCH better than $1 per minute... however this is a plan for calling from Skype to A peruvian cell.  Does it still apply if you are having your Skype number FORWARDED to a Peruvian Cell?
thank you

Yes, this would apply to both calls forwarded from your Skype account or if you call telephones from your Skype account.  There is no difference between the two types of calls in terms of how Skype handles the calls out to telephones.

  • IPad Cellar and wifi ...can this be purchased in USA and used in France?

    I would like to buy an iPad in the USA as a gift for someone in France. If I want to buy an iPad Cellular with WIFI will it work since the USA carriers are not carriers in France?

    Yes. You can use your new Cellular iPad overseas on overseas cellular networks with a local SIM.
    *local = non-US SIM
    From iPad mini webpage:
    iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. In countries without compatible LTE networks, iPad mini will operate on GSM network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card from a local carrier.

    Hi guys, so I wonder if ipad cellular works outside of the US. I need to send an iPad cellular overseas. Can an iPad cellular that is unlocked by AT&T/Verizon be usable outside of the US? I dun really know about iPad. Please help! Thanks

    I bought an AT&T ipad air in USA. I spend quite a bit of time in Sri Lanka and have been using it the past month with a Sri Lankan carrier's SIM and it has worked perfectly.

  • It's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    it's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    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.

    Hello
    Yes you can.
    You will need (a) an Australian Skype Number and (b) an Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription @$2.99/month or some Skype Credit to fund the cost of the forwarded calls.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Other cellular carriers support if I move overseas

    When I'm overseas, can I use a SIM card from a carrier in that country in my iPad 2 or is it locked to only work with AT&T SIM cards no matter where I am?

    AT&T iPads are not locked, so yes you can swap in a local micro-sim.

  • I am heading overseas shortly for 10 weeks and would like to suspend my iMac desktop email account but receive emails on my iPad. Will taking my email account offline do this? Fozzee46

    I am heading overseas shortly for 10 weeks and would like to suspend my email account on my imac desktop but still receive my emails on my ipad while away. If I take my desktop computer emails offline, will this do it for me.
    Fozzee46

    You may have to contact your email provider or ISP, though you may be able to set up the email account to be used via the portable device you could carry with you in your travels, but access may vary, depending on the data plan you have, if cellular based; if not try a web-mail based account such as gmail and see if your other mail can be forwarded so you can check it via browser online.
    I'm sure there are some options, ones I'd probably not consider. You may find that if your iPad and Mac desktop share an account or sync, email would still be in the Mac's account once it gets back online to the email server.
    Some variables likely exist, so beyond this, I won't speculate further.
    Good luck in this and safe travels!

  • Issues with iMessage when switching data carrier (wifi - cellular)

    So I have had this issue with my 5S and now my 6+ in iMessage. Not *always* but often enough I've run into issues sending messages via iMessage when I associate with wifi in that they don't send. I'll get an error message saying "not delivered" and it will stack as many outgoing messages I try to send. However, if I force the first message to send as text, subsequent messages will go through afterwards without issue. If I go from wifi to cellular I have no issues whatsoever and when I have these issues on wifi, my data works fine (incoming emails, Facebook notifications, etc.). I used to run cellular data only because I had unlimited but now I have a cap so I intend on using wifi when possible...but to have to send my first message as a text just so I can use iMessage is annoying...

    Hi there BigDogg795,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage found in the article below. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

  • FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

    FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
    This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling.  This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID.  I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it.  I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc.  I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada.  I keep getting this message from the Mac.
    I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems.  I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss.  As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work.  This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
    Bluetooth is turned on for both devices.  Both devices are on the same WiFi network.  Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
    Thanks in advance,

    (By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

  • Is Location supposed to work on iPADs that don't come with Cellular capabilities?

    Using the new iPAD mini 3, without Cellular - I have been unable to get MAPS to show my location.
    I get a popup window which says "CANNOT DETERMINE LOCATION"
    I very carefully went through every possible settings to allow LOCATION to System Services, Wifi, Messages, MAPS, Restrictions, etc.
    I turned it all on, then powered down the iPAD mini 3, then powered it back up. I turned Wifi on.
    Nope- not only does MAPS not be able to get my location, but FIND my iPHONE doesn't find it in the iCloud (all settings are correct).
    And - Messages : I tried to SEND my LOCATION to another person, it said "locating" ... then the sending bar got about 7/8 full then hung... forever.
    I thought LOCATION was supposed to work either from the WIFI or from the Compass ?? (when GPS is absent) Right? Wrong?
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Otherwise FIND MY IPHONE will never work for the iPADs without cellular? (I hope I'm wrong.)
    I look forward to any of your replies.
    Thank-you.
    iOS 8.1, running on iPAD mini 3, 64gb

    iPads without cellular get their location information from nearby WiFi networks. So, WiFi has to be turned on. However, that data can be wildly inaccurate. It requires that the WiFi router be properly registered in Apple's database. If you live in, say Florida and are using a WiFi router then move, with that router to Alaska, it will be a while before that router is re-register as being in Alaska.
    If there are no nearby WiFi networks, there will be no location information available. Compasses do not give location information. They give orientation and direction.

  • Text Message Forwarding not appearing on iPhone 5

    I'm trying to set up Text Message Forwarding between my iPhone 5 8.1.2 and iMac 10.9.5.  For some reason it is not showing up in my Settings > Messages options on my iPhone.
    I am signed in with my Apple ID on both devices.  I can receive iMessages on my iMac but cannot receive SMS messages.  In the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive options, I have both my phone number and email checked.  I have searched high and low for answers but have not been able to find a solution.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi jello32,
    Happy Holidays!  The resource below will explain how to setup the Continuity feature and troubleshoot issues with SMS and Text Message Forwarding between your iPhone and iMac.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    SMS requires an iPhone with iOS 8.1 and an activated carrier plan.
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5458
    If a Continuity feature like Handoff, phone calls, Instant Hotspot, or SMS messages isn't working the way you'd expect, make sure your devices meet the requirements. Then check your settings.
    Check System Requirements
    Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac meet the system requirements for Continuity, and for the specific features you want to use.
    Check your settings
    Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
    Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Check the following settings on your Mac:
    Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
    Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
    Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
    Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.
    If your device can't access the Internet using Instant Hotspot
    If you don't see the option to use your iPhone or cellular-enabled iPad as an available Wi-Fi network, make sure that your cellular provider has provisioned Personal Hotspot on your device.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • What are the charges, and who pays if I send a text overseas?

    What are the charges, and who pays if I send a text overseas?

    You pay as part of your cellular/telephone bill unless you use Wi-Fi which is free.
