Travel from US to Japan; Want to forward US Skype ...
I am currently traveling to Japan for a year. I canceled my US cell phone before moving to Japan.
I want to obtain US skype ID to communicate with my friends in US, and would like to forward incoming calls to my JP prepaid cell phone number. Is it possible to foward US skype# to JP phone?
Thank you,
This is what I do when I travel overseas. I travel about once a month. I use this service www. Kall8.com. I can be reached anywhere in the world with a toll free number for $2 a month. I have a US subscription with skype so I can call home to landlines and cell phones. For you to have a skype number you can only answer on skype as you would need credit if you were not on wifi. Kall 8 looks expensive to call Japan it looks like .80 a minute. There is another price for special service at 2.80/min do not know if that is for cell phone or some special number they have in Japan. There are other services out there do some research and you can find a solution that is right for you.
If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.
Thank You!

Travelling from Australia to Japan
Can I use my Australian 3G iphone in japan?
You should be able to especially since the iPhone is sold in Japan.
Via AT&T's website in the U.S. when checking countries that are compatible with the iPhone, Japan is shown as being compatible for voice and data with my 3G.
If you have a carrier locked iPhone with an Australian carrier, you should check with your carrier regarding their international roaming rates in Japan and which carrier or carriers in Japan is an international roaming partner with your carrier in Australia. If you have an unlocked iPhone, even better. -
Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?
As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
from Apple.com
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US ) -
i am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina
You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile. -
I want to change my shipping location from Canada to Japan. I do not see the "edit shipping" option on my screen. How do I change shipping locations?
Be aware that you can only ship to Japan if you order the book with a credit card with a Japanese billing address.

I have an iPhone4 from softbank in Japan, I want to use any carrier sim here in Philippines, what if Softbank in Japan is not offering unlocking iPhone. What can I do?
All you can do is sell your iPhone to someone in Japan and buy another iPhone. Only the carrier can authorize unlocking, and Softbank does not unlock iPhones.

I changed my provider and hence up-dated my iphone from a 3 to a 4. I am travelling to the UK and want to unlock and take my old phone (iphone 3) to use in the uk with my UK sim card. How do I do this??
you need to contact the provider of your old phone and find out 1) if the provider unlocks phones and 2) what the procedure is to get the phone unlocked.

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you
Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones. -
If I want to forward an email with an attachment (data charges?)
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help. I currently have a BlackBerry and use it all the time. I would like to move over to a iPhone as it is far superior at viewing attachements but there is one thing that is stopping me and I would like to know if the below is true or not.
I recieve an email on my blackberry with a 10MB attachment. I see that the attachment is large so i choose not to open the attachment as I already know what the attachment is but i want to forward the email with the attachment to my mate. i am told that if i do not download the attachment and just forward the message on the attachment is not downloaded as the file is already present on my exchange server which is great.
Now this is where I get confused. I have been told that if i do the same thing on an iPhone that the iphone must download the file in all situations to be able to be forwarded on. This obviosuly will cuase issues when abroad and would be very expensive. Is this true? I have been told from various people yes and no but is there anyone out there whos a proper teccy than knows?
ThanksThe problem here is that the server you get the message/attachment from (where it is stored), is not necessarily the same one it get sent through.
So, the two servers would have to know about each other, and have a predefined mechanism (protocol) to transfer the message between each other, without the client having to do anything.
Apple could do this, if they hosted the mailboxes and also the sending servers, but if they have no control over whose email servers you use, there's nothing that Apple can do about it.
In the case of connecting to a Blackberry or Microsoft Exchange service, the creators of those systems have solved it, but only if you use their proprietary client protocols (if you read email from a Microsoft server using POP3 or IMPA4, and send via SMTP, then you still end up downloading the whole thing to the client device, and then uploading the whole thing again when sending). -
Email is in drafts & i want to forward it.
I was' writing an email address and left it for a while and it was saved to drafts. I want to forward it but in drafts, the forward button is not there. How do I forward this completed email?
Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

When I press forward on an e-mail I want to forward and it switches over to a forwarding page, there is no place for me to open up to check my friends who I want to send the e-mail to. I have to type every single e-mail address I want it sent to, myself. Am I missing something. So far I do not like this new system. I wish I could cancel it and go back to the old system.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.
I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks). -
I want to delete my mobile me account not just from my iPhone but from existence. I want to delete it so that no emails can be received to it, and the sender would receive an undeliverable message. Is this possible?
No, you can stop using the account, but you cannot delete it.
