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.

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 TO DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET WHEN TRAVELING INTERNATIONAL

HELLO EVERY ONE.I RECENTLY TRAVELED TO CANADA,WHEN I RETURNED BACK HOME I RECIEVED AN $1800 CELL PHONE BILL,$1000 OF THE BILL WAS INTERNET USAGE,I ADD AN INTERNATIONAL FEATURE BEFORE I LEFT BUT IT WAS LIMITED (HOW DO YOU CHECK HOW MUCH USAGE YOU HAVE USED WHILE BROWSING).SO I ASKED AT&T/A GUY IN THE APPLE STORE,BUT NO ONE REALLY KNOW HOW TO DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET AFTER USING IT,WHEN TRAVELING INTERNATIONAL.(MY TREO HAD AN OPTION THAT ASKED DO YOU WANT TO DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET)(THE IPHONE DON'T)

If you have upgraded to version 1.1.1 or later there is a switch to disable cellular data while roaming. By default it is set to disable data. Settings/General/Network Data Roaming.
You can monitor cellular data usage in Settings/Usage. Reset it just before traveling.

Lg chocolate touch - how do I turn off data when traveling international?

I m going to travel international and will not be using data and don't want to get high data charges abroad, so I want to disable data before I leave and re-enable when I return. How is that done on the LG Chocolate Touch? I did not see any references to turning off data is the user manual.
Thanks.

I understand your concern to bypass roaming charges! Please share your travel destination, so I may advise accordingly. There is no option on your current device to simply disable/enable data. I suggest not accessing any data, disabling any email account and subscriptions that automatically use data. Thank you.

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

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.

What adaptor to use when travelling international

what adartor can I use for international if I need to charge my iphone 4S & ipad air

The iPad charger is international; it's rated 100V to 240V.
It's better to use a 10W/12W charger to charge iPhone and iPad. A 5W charger will get very hot when charging iPad.

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.

How do I get support service for my MacBook Pro that was purchased in the U.S. if I'm traveling internationally?

My MacBook Pro (purchased August 2010) crashed at the beginning of a 2 month trip in India. Whenever I turn it on, I get either a grey screen or the apple logo and then a message telling me to restart my comp (this happens when I try to boot from the disc). I've done everything short of cracking the case open to reposition the HD, and that's only becuase I can't get my hands on a adequately sized screwdriver.
Any thoughts? How do I get my computer services while in India? I'd be okay with shipping, but I can't even get a hold of apple without spending an astronomical amount in cell-phone fees. Help?

If this happens when you try to start from the installer DVD, then you have a hardware problem. Getting it repaired in India probably isn't easy to do. You could arrange with Apple to ship back to the US, but you would need to arrange with AppleCare for that.
You might try Apple's India support numbers: (91) 1800 4250 744 or (91) 80-4140-9000.
