Security/iPad2 While Traveling Overseas

Okay, this may be a redundant question so bear with me.  I was told that using an iPad in a Wi-Fi hotspot was not secure and anyone could hack into your information.  Is this true?  What if I am using my 3G and not a Wi-Fi hotspot, am I still at risk for hackers if I am accessing my bank account, credit card statements, etc.  I will be travelling and want to use my iPad, but I also do not want to place myself at risk either.  What is the most secure way to access these sites without compromising my data?  Thank you!

This seems absolutely absurd, considering I can email, text, and use the web (any of which my phone CAN do right now in Egypt) but I can't call.
Via a WiFi network?
If so, this has nothing to do with AT&T and international roaming but if via AT&T's EDGE network, this doesn't make sense.
I guess this can't be requested and authorized via the chat option due to security concerns confirming/verifying your identity, etc.
If you are staying in a hotel, the hotel doesn't have a working phone? I know Egypt isn't the U.S. or Europe but seems odd finding a working phone would be that difficult. I don't think Eygpt is considered a 3rd world country but it sounds like it in this regard.

  • How do I set up email accounts to send emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

    How do I set up email accounts to send and receive
    emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

    Many ISP provided email accounts limit connections to their outgoing SMTP email servers to only connections coming from their own network. So, if you try to send email when not connected to their network (i.e. when not at home), the connection will be rejected.
    If you are using an ISP provided email address, in these circumstances, you'll need to ask your ISP if they provide an "authenticated SMTP connection" so that you can send email via their SMTP server when not actually accessing the internet via their network. You'll need to enter your email account username and password in the Outgoing SMTP server settings and possible configure SSL or outgoing port numbers. Your ISP will be able to advise on this though, as the exact setting vary between ISPs.
    By far the best solution though, is to use an email account that is not tied to any particular ISP, such as a GMail account, as these can be used from anywhere, on any network and provide authenticated SMTP as standard.

  • I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN for security?

    I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN software? And is it needed at the receiving end?

    As long as you only enter your password in secure web forms, connect to secure mail servers, and don't mind if a stranger is watching which Internet servers you connect to (but can't see what you do with them), a VPN isn't necessary.

  • Travel Overseas Italy: Comprehensive Task List

    I will be traveling to Italy in January from my base in New York. Since this is my first time taking a Verizon phone overseas, I have spent some time researching the Verizon web site to prepare myself for a journey with minimal problems.
    You’ll find my resulting notes below. This research might be helpful for others who are planning an overseas trip. Even if it is not to Italy, you may want to answer the same questions for your destination country.
    If you spot any errors, please post corrections.
    I have a Blackberry Storm 2 which is one of Verizon’s global phones. That means the hardware (the installed SIM card)  is already programmed for international use.
    Here is Verizon’s website with information on using a global phone while traveling internationally:
    http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Global_Phone/index.html
    Verizon also has created a useful Trip Planner here:
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/tripplanner/tripplannercontroller
    Those web pages provide the following information about travel to Italy:
    Before leaving the U.S.
    1) A few days before departure, call Verizon and have them activate your SIM card for “international voice roaming” as well as “international data roaming” if you plan to use the phone to access data. This can be done by calling Verizon customer service at 800-922-0204 or *611
    EDIT: Arrange for the SIM card activation to begin a few days before you depart. That way you can call Verizon before you leave and make sure they have actually activated the card.
    2) Dial *228, press SEND, and select option 2 to update your roaming capabilities.
    3) To save some money on voice calls, sign up for the GSM voice value plan (see details below.)
    EDIT: Arrange for the GSM voice value plan to begin a few days before you depart. This will allow you to call Verizon before you leave and make sure the plan has actually been initiated.
    Voice calls:
    The GSM Standard Roaming Per Minute Rate is $1.29. This is charged whether you are making or receiving a call.
    If you sign up for the GSM Value Plan, at $4.99 per month, the Roaming Per Minute Rate is $0.99. Verizon’s site says this is “the ideal plan if you plan to talk more than 30 minutes a day.” But it would seem to offer a substantial discount at lesser usage. A Verizon representative suggested calling to set up this service three to five days before departure. Initiation can be future-dated.
    How to dial voice calls:
    When in Italy, here is how to call a US number. I’ll use the 212 area code for the example: Dial the Italy country exit code [00], then the US country code [1], then the familiar 10-digit area code and number. On landline phones the format for calling a number in the US 212 area code would be this:
    00 1 212 XXX XXXX
    On a cell phone, pressing the * or 0 key while you are in GSM mode is supposed to automatically  insert the country exit code, which for Italy is 00.  So you would use the following format:
    + 1 212 XXX XXXX
    If you call out of your address book while in GSM Mode, you usually do not need to add the exit code and country code to the number; they are added automatically.
    To call an Italian number while in Italy:
    Dial the plus sign, then the country code, then the local number with area code.
    To call another country while in Italy:
    Dial the plus sign, country code, international number.
    To reach the toll-free customer service in Italy:
    Dial the plus sign, then 1, then 908-559-4899 [ EDIT: Then you may enter the PIN number which is on the Global Support Card you received with your phone. ]
    People in the US can call you by using your usual 10-digit number. They do not have to dial the US exit code (which is 011) or the Italy country code (which is 39). The person from the US is not charged anything extra; that person is just calling a regular US phone that happens to be overseas.
    To get voicemail while in Italy:
    To pick up your voice mail, call your own cell number using the “Call to US” instructions above. (The format would be + 1 212 XXX XXXX). Then you interrupt your voice mail greeting and enter your password when prompted.
    Text messages:
    You can send text messages to a cell phone in the U.S. by just dialing the regular 10-digit phone number (do not dial Italy exit code or US country code). Your fee for sending a text message is 50 cents per message, whether or not you sign up for the GSM Value Plan. You can attach a picture to a text message at no extra charge.
    Someone using Verizon here in the U.S. can send you a text message in Italy by using your regular 10-digit number. (It is not necessary for them to start with the 011 US exit code and the Italy country code). You can receive text messages for five cents each. Receiving a picture attached to a text message costs 25 cents.
    Data usage by the phone:
    Using the cell phone for data access (email, web surfing, audio and video downloads from the Internet) is extremely expensive under the “pay per use” plan which will apply if you do not sign up for a discount data plan. The “pay per use” fee is $20.48 per MB. (Note that text messages are not considered data, and are charged at a separate rate. See the information previously in this document.)
    Here is Verizon’s page that describes the global data rates:
    http://b2b.vzw.com/international/GlobalData/rates_coverage.html
    For an idea of how data access charges might add up at such rates, consider Verizon’s chart of typical usages. The figures below were taken from the following Verizon page:
    http://b2b.vzw.com/international/GlobalData/rates_coverage.html
    Email (text only) = 10 KB
    Typical Web Page Lookup = 1.5 MB (This can add up fast).
    Audio Streaming = 40 MB/hr
    Lo-Res Video Streaming = 200 MB/hr
    Hi-Res Video Streaming = 400 MB/hr
    Digital Photo download/upload (Hi-Res) = 1 MB
    1 MB = 1,024 KB
    1 GB = 1,024 MB
    To make the data charges manageable you can call the Global Services department and sign up for Verizon’s Global Data Plan. The cheapest of such Global Data plans costs $30 per month. That gives 50MB of data connectivity, then you can access additional data for $5.12 per MB. All numbers are pro-rated for the time you are in the country.
    Important: Avoid surprise data charges. If you are not going to use your phone for data, go to “Mobile Network Options” and turning off “Data Services While Roaming.” You could also turn off “Data Services” itself.
    [ The above information refers only to data usage over your cell phone. Some people also use Verizon’s “Broadband Connect” service, which provides for data usage on a laptop. This requires  either that the laptop contains an internal Internet modem, or the user engages in “tethering,” which involves attaching the cell phone to the laptop with a cord. (I do the latter while I am in the US.) To use that service overseas you would need to sign up for yet another package from Verizon. Verizon’s page says: “Data used as a tethered modem or mobile hotspot requires its own global data allowance separate from your smart phone data allowance.” (Since I will only be in overseas a week, I have not looked into the charges for this service.) ]
    Use Wi-Fi
    Rather than use the phone for data access or tethering, use public wi-fi which is available in many hotels, coffee shops, and public areas.
    When arriving in Italy
    Make sure your phone’s network settings are set to “Global.”
    You will receive a text message tell your how to use your phone for international calls. The phone will show that it is using the “Vodafone” network.
    [ Edits: ] You can call the U.S.-based Verizon support while you are in Italy. Use the above instructions for calling a US number. Dial:
    + 1 908-559-4899 (This is air time and toll free).
    EDIT: If you are using a payphone to call that number, a global staff person will call you back to save you additional expenses.
    If your cell phone is lost or damaged, you can call the country specific access number, (for Italy it is 800-90-5825). Wait for tone, then enter the calling card number and PIN on the front of your Verizon Wireless Global Support card (which came with your cell phone.)
    Reminders
    1) You cannot call 800 numbers from overseas. So get alternative numbers from your phone, credit card companies, and others. Also, calling will not work.
    [ EDIT: It may be that some 800 numbers will work while you are in Italy, but they are not free. I am not sure about this. ]
    2) Italy uses the GSM Dual Band voice network, and the same for its data network.
    3) The “Network Technology” setting should be set to “Global.” The phone may fall back to EDGE or GPRS if 3G is not available in a location. The phone should automatically adjust if that happens.
    4) When making an international call to any European phone number that begins with a zero, omit the zero — unless you are calling Italy. For example, to call the UK number 01606 54321 from France, you’d dial +44 1606 54321. + is the international prefix, 44 is the country code, then the number with the leading zero omitted. Italy is the lone exception — if you need to call there don’t drop the leading zero.

    Roaming Charges Overseas and Wi-Fi
    As it happens, I will be traveling once again to Italy. This time it's Rome and I have upgraded to a BB Torch 9850. Here are some additional notes, this time about the conflict in settings between the need to limit data roaming charges and the desire to use Wi-Fi. The notes below will be especially useful for those using Blackberries, although others may find the information a good template for their own prudent research.
    While roaming overseas I want to be able to make and receive voice calls, but I want to avoid incurring charges for data communication through Verizon's mobile network. Those data communication charges can result from the use of the phone for email communications, web site browsing, and apps that might access data in the background without my knowledge. Such charges can be exorbitant.
    At the same time, I want to be able to use the phone to access the Internet via Wi-Fi for such activities as emailing and web surfing, which use data.
    Those two interests can conflict when it comes to setting a phone’s networks and connections. I called Verizon for some insight. Here are the settings suggested by the representative.
    While you are not in a Wi-Fi area, use the following settings. These will allow you to make and receive voice calls and text messages, but you will not be able to access the Internet for web browsing or email:
    1) “Mobile network:” ON. [ This will allow you to make and receive voice phone calls and send and receive text messages over the mobile network. ]
    2) “Data services:” OFF. [ Arguably, this could be left ON as long as the next entry, “Data while roaming,” is set to OFF. That’s because any data attempting to move through the mobile network while overseas would be in a “roaming” state, so the next entry should stop it from being processed. However, the representative tells me that some customers have reported being hit with data charges while overseas when they left their “Data services” set to ON. Therefore the representative suggests setting this to OFF. ]
    3) “Data while roaming:” OFF [ This will keep your mobile network from processing any data while you are overseas. ]
    The above settings are appropriate if you want to just use your phone for voice and text messages. If you also want to take advantage of Wi-Fi, read on.
    While you are in a Wi-Fi area and you want to use Wi-Fi, switch to the following settings. These will allow you to receive and send emails over Wi-Fi and browse the web, but you will not be able to use your phone to make or receive voice calls or communicate with text messages:
    1) “Mobile Network:” OFF [ This will keep your mobile network from processing data so you will not be hit with exorbitant data roaming charges. ]
    2) “Data services:” ON [ This will allow the phone to process data communications through Wi-Fi]
    3) “Data while roaming:” OFF [ This is an extra security measure to assure the phone does not process data communications through its mobile network while in a “roaming” location. Arguably, this could be left ON, since your “Mobile Network” setting is OFF and thus should not process any data. However, the representative told me that some customers have reported data usage charges when “data while roaming” was left ON. So turn it OFF. ]
    Additional notes: Procedures for making the above settings may vary by device. On my BB Torch I take the following path: For “Mobile Network” tap the Blackberry symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen. For the other settings tap “Options,” then “Networks and Connections,” then “Mobile Network” or “Wi-Fi” Network. You can leave the “Wi-Fi” checkbox ON at all times.
    Text messages, in contrast with emails, do not incur data charges. During my last trip to Italy, texting proved to be a great way to communicate with friends back in the USA. I did not attempt to use Wi-Fi at all.
    Hope this helps. One alternative to the above is to sign up for a global data plan from Verizon. Yet roaming charges even under those plans can add up quickly.
    On a related note, the rep told me that it can take up to 48 hours for Verizon to recognize data usage. (Apparently has to do with the fact that overseas carriers are slow in reporting. Same goes for smaller domestic carriers when stateside.) So if you make a mistake in settings, you really can't find out something is wrong before incurring an expensive delay.
    Hope the above helps.

  • How to properly update iTunes content while traveling abroad?

    Spent some time searching and found a number of threads covering T&Cs and whys and wherefores of US Citizens on extended overseas travel trying to update or purchase iTunes content. There's a lot of 'why not' but not much 'how to'.
    I'm seeking the Apple-approved solution for those of us with US based iTunes accounts who are traveling or deployed overseas or take extended temporary jobs abroad. How can we legally, properly, update our podcast subscriptions, apps for iPhones, or purchase content?
    Do we have to simply change the country setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store window, so we are interacting with whatever the local Store is and the content will live happily in iTunes no matter which Store it was purchased from?
    Do we have to set up a new account with local credit card in every land we are assigned?
    There has to be a way, it seems illogical that you can't update podcasts or apps while traveling. There's got to be an Apple-approved method for this!
    If anyone knows the answer or a link to the answer or something near to it, please provide the info. The T&C are clear enough in regards to "purchases" and using the US store only from in the US, but doesn't answer the 'how-to' for customers traveling abroad who are not spending any money by getting new podcast episodes or free app updates.
    So again, no need to rehash the T&C, just seeking the 'proper' way to update things if away for a while. I'll be stupefied if I hear that the official Apple answer is the iPhone content is frozen in place until I get back in US territory.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, Chris.
    After posting the message, I changed my iTunes Store to India (where there may be work opportunities) and there were only Apps and iTunes U content tabs, and the T&C were similar-can only shop at the store where you are connecting from. So unless the store looks different when logging in while physically in India, there wouldn't be a way to update podcasts.
    I am concerned about an important distinction, though, which is 'what will work' vs. 'what is T&C compliant'...

    Hi apiccolo5,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    See these articles for steps that can help you resolve the issue you're seeing:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Best,

  • International support or support while traveling

    Currently while traveling in Germany my macbook died on me. I can't get any response from it at all. I still have apple care but it expires august 30th just after I arrive back home in Canada. I've tried calling apple but it is very difficult to since I am only able to call from Germany and the 1 800 number doesn't work. In addition to my computer not starting the case is cracked and broken in a number of places, like many plastic macbooks and when charging the battery at it's final stage the power adaptor switches from charging to not charging and takes forever to completely charge. I'd like to have the problems looked at before apple care runs out but I am unsure what is my best plan of action. Any suggestions?
    also the power charges does the same thing on my husbands macbook pro.
    Tilly_1234

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    AppleCare is worldwide where coverage is available. To contact them in Germany, call:
    (49) 01805 009 433
    Also note, since you have cracks in the case, you may or may not get a sympathetic ear. Cracks usually indicate some form of abuse or improper handling on your part or whomever had ahold of the machine. If the cracks appeared after it being manhandled by security improperly, you might have a case against the security or airline where you passed it through. There are also cases which Apple does document where the power adapter can fail to charge. I've listed some of those documents and given a few tips of my own, on*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/frayguide.html
    Apple did have a battery exchange program on some MacBooks and MacBook Pros, but that exchange program has been over for awhile. Still if you bring it in to an authorized service center, you might find a sympathetic ear there. Just remember warranty is only for manufacturer defects, it is not for user induced damage. That's what insurance is for, such as travel insurance and home owners insurance.
    You can find service providers under this website:
    http://www.apple.com/de/buy/shop/
    After entering the nearest Apple shop, you'll find a button that says search if that isn't an authorized dealer, and get a map, that says below it "Sie moechten" with a pulldown menu beneath it "einen Mac Kaufen" Change that pulldown menu and select "Service Finden", and type to the right where you reside or "wohnen". Then click on Suchen.
    This will give you all the authorized service providers in that location.

  • Customer Service while traveling Internationally

    I am currently on business in India and would like to contact customer service but am unable to do so through the 1-800 number. I have sent e mails through the website but have received no response. My inquiries are regarding possible international calling plans that would allow me to not be charged full roaming fees. I have an HTC Droid Eris which is not a world phone but still works here, apparently because of other CDMA networks here. I would also like to pay my bill for this month but am apprehensive to do so online because of India being known for very poor internet security and frequent credit card scamming. Any response would be very appreciated.

    I am sorry to hear you are having trouble contacting Customer Service while traveling internationally. I have researched some information and will be glad to  provide you with a number you can contact Customer Service while out of the United States.
    CDMA – 1 908-559-4899 
    GSM - 1 908-559-4899 
    You can also dial 908-559-4899 from a non Verizon Wireless device or landline. 
    I hope this information is helpful to you! Please let us know if you are still experiencing difficulties contacting Verizon Wireless.

  • HT1807 Is there any way to check your roaming minutes while traveling internationally?

    Is there any way to check your roaming minutes while traveling internationally?

    Hi Icebreaker
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I successfully upgraded the Firmware to the latest available on the site - I don't have the camera here to confirm the vesion number but the upgraded Firmware was reported in the setup application.
    WPA is AES, which is all that the Thomson router seems to support and I did notice that the camera was looking for TKIP. However, I have tried with WEP and no security to test, with no luck either. I am testing with the camera within 10 feet or so of the router and getting an error message re. checking network condition and the Network doesn't seem to even 'See' the camera as such and the Wireless LED is not lighting up. That's why I was wondering if the Wireless was faulty.
    thanks again

  • How can I use the Netflix app on my iPad while traveling outside the US?

    Is there any way to use the Netflix app on my iPad while traveling out of the country? I am curently in Russia. I downloaded software to mask my IP address on my laptop. Is this possible for the iPad?

    There's no way to mask or hide an IP address on an iPad that I am aware of. As to using Netflix from outside of your country, ask Netflix about that.

  • Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

    Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

    On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

  • App store no longer works after installing iOS6 while traveling

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4S that I updated to iOS 6 while traveling in Brazil.  Now, even though my Apple account was created in the U.S. tied to the U.S. App Store, when I open the App Store it automatically goes to the Brazilian App Store and pops up an error message that my account is invalid for use in the Brazil App Store because it is an American account.  I've been using the App Store just fine for years from various countries as I travel.  It has always gone directly to the U.S. App Store regardless of where I am in the world.  Now it only seems to pull up the Brazilian App Store and not allow me to update apps or make purchases.
    My question is has anyone else experienced this?  Is it because I updated to iOS 6 while physically traveling in Brazil so the phone thinks it is a Brazil-based phone or is it a bug in iOS 6 that prevents you from using App Store while outside the U.S.?  I haven't been able to test what it does when I'm in the U.S. as I haven't returned yet.  All of my settings on the phone are in English and set up for U.S. settings - there's no setting in the phone set up for Brazil or the Portuguese language.
    If this is because I installed iOS 6 while in Brazil, how do I fix that?  Do I have to re-install iOS 6 while in the U.S.?  If so, how do I trigger a re-install and what do I do in the meantime to use App Store while traveling?  Is there a work-around that allows me to switch it from the Brazil App Store to U.S. App Store?  The error message I receive indicates that I need to change to the U.S. App Store in order to install apps but doesn't mention how to do that, as there don't appear to be config options in App Store.
    Any help would be appreciated..

    In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence?

    How can I purchase products from the app store while travelling outside my country of residence? We are from Canada, travelling in the USA and wish to buy a TV series but get a message to buy it from the Canadian store. When we tried to do this we got the same message.

    According to the terms of sale, you have to be in your country of residence in order to make a purchase. I've heard of people able to make purchases outside their country and also of people being unable to do so. It appears that Apple's enforcement is not 100%.
    In order to buy from the U.S. iTunes Store, you would need to have a valid billing address in the U.S., a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes Gift card purchased in the U.S. and be physically present in the U.S. at the time of purchase.
    International copyright law is currently very inconvenient for the consumer.
    Best of luck.
