Travel to UK with iPhone next week. A few questions if you please!

My daughter is going to visit the UK next week. She will be bringing her iPhone. I have bought her a plug adapter that does not convert voltage because it is my understanding that the Apple adaptor will take 220 fine. Also, the data roaming has been turned off. She has been told not to try to use the internet unless she has WIFI access. I will call ATT on Monday to buy international calling, which brings the roaming charges down a little, but not much.
Now the questions: Will the phone work in the UK reliably? How the heck do you dial an american phone number from the UK Let's say you want to dial 714-555-1212 from the UK, what prefixes are needed when you dial. I don't want her to place her calls with operator assistance! Any other comments would be greatly appreciated, TIA.

When you put numbers in a mobile phone, it's always best to enter internationally formatted numbers.
For the US, that's +1 714 555 1212 for the number you mentioned, or for a UK number such as 01312 345678, it'd be +44 1312 345 678 (leave out the first '0'). Obviously, +1 is the US country code, +44 is the UK. Check out this wikipedia link for other countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listof_international_callprefixes
The iPhone - even the US iPhone, works fine in the UK, as it's a GSM phone (the technology used for pretty much every country's predominant cell networks except the US). Mine's been without issue.
One thing that nobody thinks of, but everyone could possibly need - emergency services. It's a common misconception in the UK that 911 works, but it will not. Remember to use 999, or the European-wide (and world wide for GSM phones) 112
Oh yeah, and last but not least, visit Scotland, especially the highlands.

A no-contract sales price does not mean unlocked.
Apple is now selling an officially unlocked iPhone in the U.S. which has nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T unlocking iPhones. It is up to the carrier and the carrier only to officially unlock an iPhone that was sold as carrier locked with the carrier - in this case sold as carrier locked with AT&T. This may change one day, but at the present time AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason or under any circumstances.

My daughter is traveling from US to Spain next week. Can she text from Ipad for free?

My daughter is traveling from US to Spain next week. Can she text from Ipad for free?

If her iPad is running iOS 5 with iMessage registered and enabled, she can exchange iMessages with a Mac running Lion with the new Messages BETA app for a Mac running Lion, and with other iOS devices running iOS 5 with iMessage registered and enabled. She can do this when her iPad is connected to an available wi-fi network.

Traveling over seas with iPhone 4S

I'm traveling overseas to Aruba next week and I was wondering if I can take my iphone with me to use wifi. What do I have to change in my setting to guarantee that I won't be charged for roaming?

Great question kb_67!
Have a great trip! I hope its a vacation. Like Ann suggested airplane mode is a great option. I would also recommend turning off cellular data to ensure you don't get extra charges. To turn off the cellular data: Menu>Settings>General>Cellular> Off

Travel to Europe with iPhone 6

We are traveling to Europe (France and Italy) with iPhone 6.
1) How do we set our phones to avoid roaming and other charges BUT allow still wireless? (I'm assuming wireless would not cause any additional charges)
2) Any good wireless apps that would allow us to stay connected with family and friends via wireless service?
Thanks!

As soon as you take off, put the phone in airplane mode. When you land, keep airplane mode in, bit only turn on wifi.
THere eyre are many apps to stay in touch such as Skype, google voice and hangouts, what's app. Etc. verizon message + will allow you to send and receive text messages over wifi with no international charges.

Traveling to Canada with iPhone for a weekend? ...

Hey guys, we're pretty new to AT&T. In a couple months I plan to head from the U.S. to Toronto for a weekend. I've heard horror stories about people racking-up insane voice and data charges when traveling to Canada.
When I was with Sprint a few years ago we could add some kind of international plan add-on for something like $3.99 for a single month that completely covered us there.
Does AT&T offer anything similar? What are the options?
Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

WoW !! It is year 2015......
Lots of change in Canada.
Making and receiving calls & text are much cheaper now with AT&T while roaming in Canada with Rogers wireless.
But using roaming data still cost a lot.
My suggestion to all my friends are if you coming up North only for a few days,and you really really need to use your phone,remember to turn off data roaming.
For data, use the free wifi in your hotel or free wifi in any public place
Most major airports in Canada got free open wifi for public use.
Burger places and coffee shops also got open wifi for public use,
some of them may need a password , you can alway ask if you are a customer.
This only apply to major big cities in Canada, like Vancouver BC,Calgary AB,Edmonton AB, Toronto ON,Winnipeg MB, Regina SK, Halifax NS, Quebec QC,St. John NL etc etc.
If you go to Yukon or NWT the above do not apply

New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
Sorry for all this just thought I would ask for feedback.
Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,
SomeOneOnLine

1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
No. Apple does not permit this.
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?

iOS 4.01 Due Early Next Week; Addresses Antenna Issues
Reception issues observed by new iPhone 4 owners, derided as the "Death Grip" by bloggers, appears to actually be a software issue that an iOS update is expected to resolve early next week.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...ios_401.html
the link you provided didnt work relink?
and what is your view on the "software" issue? do you think apple is just going to make it appear as if we have more signal than we really do?
Potentially a band aid to merely save face. Hopefully proper RF tuning to account for the attenuation present when the hand is near that corner of the phone will be implemented.

Google announces Calendar Sync on iPhone...a few questions

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
Google has announced today that you can now sync your calendar and contacts with the iPhone and it supports push.
I've been using MobileMe to sync my calendar and contacts and have been waiting for the day when I could sync my Google Calendar because of the fact I have so many subscribed calendars at work that I need access too.
For anyone that's done this syncing with Google yet, can you confirm the following:
1. Will it allow you to do just calendar and not touch your contact data if you don't want it to?
2. Will you be able to add reminders (alerts) that will work on the phone the same was as the iCal syncing works?

Is this possible?
Setup:
MacBook and MacBook Pro at home syncing iCal events (in four different calendars) and Address Book contacts with iPhone via Mobile Me. At work I forward Outlook appointments to Gmail, which puts them in a Google calendar, which the Macs at home pull into their iCal using CalDAV. Of course, that calendar does not sync to the iPhone. This setup circumvents the problem that the iPhone's Outlook Exchange syncing isn't supported at work.
Question:
Is it possible to sync just one calendar in Google calendar with the iPhone? I don't want the four calendars that sync over Mobile Me to sync to Google Calendars as well. I suppose that work calendar, once synced with the iPhone, will find its way via Mobile Me to iCal on the Macs at home, so that I can then simply unsubcribe to the CalDAV feed.
Thanks,
Richard

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

This is a user to user help forum only so no one here can answer regarding what AppleCare or an Apple Store will do in this situation. Every warranty claim is on a case by case basis. If a fellow user tells you - sure Apple will exchange your iPhone and Apple doesn't exchange it due to the accidental damage, what you are told here carries no weight in this regard.

Hi, I read all about my Mac book doesn't recognize my iPhone. I tried every advice, still it doesn't work. I have on MacBook the newest version of iTunes and work with iPhone 3 gs. The line says, you need iTunes higher than 10.6.3. It will not download.

Hi, my problem: my iphone3gs is not recognized by my MacBook, although I tried every single step you suggested. It happened only shortly, before it worked perfectly. What to do?

Your OS can not run iTunes higher than the version that you have now, thus no 10.6.3.

IPhone 3g broken ,Genuis Bar Questions. ****LONG**** PLEASE HELP

Well i guess ill say the whole story. I bought my iPhone on August 6th and i had a plane to catch that day to Cali. So i synced it all up with my mac mini. My dad also got one and he went to Brazil (which is why im in Cali) While ive been here ive been syncing my iPhone with her windows computer to put apps on. Everything has been great until this week. Im calling it **** week. Ever since i updated to 2.0.2 its had no service most everywhere, apps and safari quit and when safari doesnt it runs extrememly slow and typing lag is worse then ever. I figured whatever maybe once i go back home it will start working again. Well thats not the case. Last night i was downloading apps and one of them got stuck when it was almost done installing. So synced it with my computer and it took it off.. well it still showed that it was installing. So i restarted my iPhone and it got stuck at the Apple logo(which is a common problem i know about the big thread also) so i restarted it and everytime it would go back to the Apple logo. I tried restoring it and everytime i plug it into my computer its makes my computer run extrememly slow and itunes wont come up. Then when i unplug it itunes pops up and everythings running normally. So after about 6 hours straight of trying to fix it, its now not turning on at all. Even when i plug it into a power outlet and computer. So basically i have a broken iPhone and its worthless. I have an appointment but im wondering if its even worth it.
Genuis bar questions:
1. Does the accoutn holder have to be present? Im on the account but not the account holder. My dad said to try.
2. Will they try and hold my iphone? I cant leave it there because i have to leave that day.
3. Would they just give me a new one? I would love that and not have to go through all this trouble
Please help im stuck withotu a phone in the worst possible time.

If there is a hardware problem with the iPhone they will replace it for you.
You may want to update and restore the iPhone.
