Travel International with BB Tour

Plan to travel to Asia next week that utilizes GSM network.  Wish to purchase a SIM card locally for Voice & Data plan.
Will I simply remove my current SIM card (Sprint) with the local one.  Or will this BB Tour need to be unlocked to work locally?
Anything else that I would need to know when travel internationally?
HELP!

  • Traveling internationally with AT

    I'm travelling in south Africa with an iPad 2 and am unable to roam onto a local cell network. Had similar problem in London last week.  Don't want an AT&T international plan...just want to get onto a local carrier for limited roaming.  Have tried to connect to a network with both automatic and manual configuration in settings.  Am also travelling with two blackberries and they connect automatically no problem - so know its not a network availability issue.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    What do you mean by provisioning for international use?  iPad is unlocked and after three days, it did eventually start to to work in London.  South Africa is not one of the countries listed on the AT&T international plan as well...am not sure purchasing am AT&T international plan is/should be required to have the device roam internationally.

  • Traveling Internationally with the original iPhone

    I have friend who is about to embark on a international trip to Vietnam. She is bringing her iPhone with her, but does NOT want to have to pay the expensive roaming charges while there. So we're looking for a way to turn off the cell phone part so it won't/can't connect to whatever wireless network may be there, but still use it with Wi-Fi for the iPhone apps and for getting email where Wi-Fi is available.
    I'm guessing that turning OFF Enable Edge and turning OFF Data Roaming should do the trick, but want to be sure before I give her bad information.
    Any ideas?

    There is no option to turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the first generation iPhone. There is an option to turn off 3G network access with the iPhone 3G which doesn't turn off EDGE or GPRS access with the iPhone. Data Roaming is off by default with the iPhone.
    If she is running firmware version 2.0 or later on her iPhone, she can enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access. This will disable the cell and data access via the cellular network so no calls can be placed or received and the same for SMS, this disables data access via a cellular network, and disables bluetooth access. Wi-Fi access will be available turning her iPhone into an iPod Touch.

  • Traveling internationally with my ITouch

    I am from the USA and I am going to be traveling to Germany and I don't want to take my laptop so I am curious if it will connect to their wifi because I can just email with the itouch?

    WiFi is the same wherever, so if it is a free hotspot, or you have the password to access a private network, then it will work as it does in the US.

  • IMessage and travelling abroad with iPhone

    I have a question for those who have travelled internationally with their AT&T iPhone.
    Am I correct in assuming that as long as I’m connected to wifi, I can still have iMessage text conversations with other iOS5 users back in the United States, without being billed for anything? Are there any tips you can offer for people traveling internationally on vacation with iOS5 other than that? I’m sure I’ll be on airplane mode when wandering away from the hotel wifi.

    Yes.
    All iMessage requires is an internet connection which can be wi-fi only.
    Turn Cellular Data off and you can enable Airplane mode followed by turning wi-fi access on. All other iPhone radios will be off except for wi-fi.

  • TRAVELING OVERSEAS with the IPHONE. WHAT TO DO????  SHOULD I EVEN BOTHER??

    Hi all! So I'll be going to Europe (7 different countries) for 2 weeks later this year and need to know what's the best and cheapest option (if those 2 even go together) if I want to use my Iphone 3G over seas... or if i should even bother using my iphone there.
    I'm trying to avoid using AT&T's international service because its charging an arm and a leg with little data and voice usages.
    What other options do I have?
    What have you experienced before traveling over seas using the Iphone?
    I've heard about Prepaid SIM cards but I'm reading it won't work on a regular locked Iphone.. and i would have to unlock it in order to use a prepaid sim?? True?
    Or is my best option really to NOT bring my iphone and buy another phone on Ebay or something that can be used over seas (is it a dual band phone or quad band phone?)and then buy a prepaid sim to use for that?
    I mean it'd be nice to have a smart phone with me and take some pics of the Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and post it on my facebook on the spot, or if I'm roaming around I'd like to see where's the closest ABC place vs XYZ place, or look at Google Maps or what ever map ppl use in Europe, on my phone for walking directions.
    I won't be making long calls back to the US or anything, the only calls I'll really be making are.. maybe when I get to Paris, i'll call home to let ppl know I've arrived safely, I'll be with a tour group so if i get lost it'd be nice to be able to call the tour manager before they leave without me, or ppl whom I'm with, call for help, also when i arrive back to the US, call for a ride home.
    So all in all, I want to be able to do a little bit of calling, maybe a few text messages here and there, and probably a little more data usage if I was to use a digital map, walking directions, post something on Facebook or twitter.
    Any other options/comments I may not have noted? Thanks for your help for now.

    I spent 10 days in the UK in June, and I brought my iphone. I put it in airplane mode and turned on wireless--there are lots of hotspots all over the place in Europe. That way I didn't incur data charges but could, once or twice a day, upload pictures and check email from home.
    If you need phone or texting services while traveling, this is not the way to go--buying a pay-as-you-go phone once you get there may be a better choice. But if the things you want to do are accessible via wireless (facebook, etc.) then airplane mode + wi-fi is certainly a viable--and free--option.

  • 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

  • Is Tmobile contract free iPhone 6 locked to Tmobile network? Can it be used internationally with other carriers?

    If I buy a Tmobile contract free iPhone 6 in apple store, does that mean it is locked and can only use Tmobile network? Can it be used internationally with other carriers? I travel a lot and do not want to find out my phone does not work the moment I insert a local carrier sim card.

    "The iPhone 6 will come unlocked as long as customers pay full price," a T-Mobile representative said. "If customers choose to take advantage of T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan it will be locked until the device is fully paid off. This policy applies at both T-Mobile and Apple stores."

  • Traveling Internationally

    How do I adjust the Settings so that I am not using any Data or Voice services with my Carrier (at&t) while travelling internationally to avoid fees, but where I can still use my phone on Wi-fi only?

    Turn on Airplane mode, then turn WiFi back on.

  • To avoid roaming charges when traveling internationally, do i put my iphone on airplane mode only or do i also need to turn off data and voice roaming

    I have an iphone 4 with sprint which can't take a sim card.  To avoid roaming charges while traveling internationally, do i put my phone on airplane mode.
    I read you need to turn off cellular and voice data roaming as well but when I turn on airplane mode, it seems like roaming is automatically turned off.
    Is this true?

    Turning on Airplane Mode will prevent the phone from getting roaming charges as it cant connect to a cell tower.
    P.S you can have WiFi on and still be in Airplan Mode. Just turn Airplane Mode on first, then turn the WiFi on

  • Travel Management with Travel Desk

    Hi Experts,
    We are having following Scenario in Travel Management(with Travel Desk) please suggest me how to achieve the same.
            1.     Employee will raise the Travel Request the same will go to his Reporting Boss
            2.     Boss will approve the above Travel Request.
            3.     Once he approves the request the same has to go to Travel Desk (Company Owned).
            4.     Travel Desk people will book the tickets/hotels and makes the payment to the vendor
                    (Travel  Agent/Hotel). The same information will go to employee.
            5.     After completion his tour, Employee will apply for the reimbursement which he paid on his
                    own.
            6.     Finance Department will check the bills and makes the payment.
    From the above steps, 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th steps are available in standard system but how to do with 3rd and 4th step.
    Thanks in Advance
    Ratnakar

    Hi together,
    you will have several issues here.
    - First of all, Workflow Container BUS2089 does not carry all planning related details in standard. So you will have to enhance it using SWO1. Especially travel service details are missing.
    - if you are about to enhance it, you can also add a method to change both approval and accounting status of the trip. This will enable you more flexible process steps.
    - if manager has approved request, you can forward it by mail to a central inbox of travel agency. Travel agency is usually not working in customers SAP system, so you have to use an external communication.
    - agency usually sends an external PDF confirmation to traveler as they are not connected to SAP system
    - as an alternative, you can connect to agencys reservation systems Amadeus, Sabre or Galileo and use travel planning. then you have full synchronization and online booking capabilities inside SAP system
    - when ticket is issued at agency, credit card/ form of payment is charged. This is external process. If you want to have these data, take the credit card transaction data from provider and use RPRCCC00. Or ask agency to provide same data in similar format.
    - if you use WD ABAP for travel request (which also works as standalone without EP portal), you can use "other services" to ask traveler for additional details which are needed for travel desk. You will find about 15 fields there which is much more than the standards for flight/ hotel/ rail request.
    regards,
    Michael

  • Error when creating a travel request with Advance amount

    Hi Gurus,
    When I create a travel request with an Advance amount and try to save the same, the system throws up an error msg : "Trip country does not exist in the system (T005).
    However, it allows me to create the travel request without this error if i dont enter any advance amount in the travel request.
    I checked the tables V_T706L and V_T706O and found my trip county to be existing.
    Regards
    Prakash

    Hello Prakash,
    The following are the prerequisites for transferring trip costs to accounting.  In other words when you try to create and save a travel request with advance you are involving accounting entries and therefore the following needed to be checked:
    1.Travel Management and Accounting are both at Release 4.5A. If at least one of the systems
    has a release level lower than 4.5A, follow the instructions in Customizing for ALE.
    2. For payment to be effected, vendor accounts must exist in Accounting for the respective
    personnel numbers.
    3. The following Accounting tables must be replicated in the Travel Management System using
    Customizing transports:
      Company Codes (T001)
      Countries (T005)
      Input Tax Codes (T007A, T007S)
      Document Types (T003)
    4. The transfer of settlement results
    More relevant in your case would be the point 3. Countries(T005) not defined in TM.
    Hope the above provided you more information.

  • USB Think/Travel Keyboard with UltraNav Win 7

    Although Lenovo assured me I would not have problems with my trackpoint keyboard (USB Think/Travel Keyboard with UltraNav), Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (ThinkCenter M93p) does not recognize UltraNav. The functions (example: scroll) work correctly in some applications but not in Windows itself (example: Windows Explorer).
    I am looking for a Windows 7 64 bit, driver for that keyboard.
    Thanks.
