Use of U.S. iPad when traveling to Philippines

When traveling to Philippines from U.S., how would you set up use of your iPad (unlimited U.S. cellular data plan) for the metro Manila area?

Go to the mall and buy a Globe (local telecom) Tattoo sim, and cut it down to microsim size (it's easy. Google is your friend). It comes loaded with quite a bit of funds already, but I don't recall how much. Shut off your iPad, install the Globe sim, and re-start. Follow these instructions:
* Go to Settings.
* Press Reset then Reset Network Settings.
* Go to Cellular Data.
* Press APN.
* Change APN to: http.globe.com.ph (for pre-paid service)
* Deactivate Wi-Fi to be able to browse using the SIM (click Wi-Fi menu, turn-off)
Data rate is Php5/15 minutes or something along those lines. Very reasonable. 3G data speeds may vary quite a bit in Manila. You can do something similar with SMART (the other major cell carrier), but I don't have that set up.
I know it works, I've done it on my iPad..

No, it will handle the voltages there:

Electrical and operating requirements:
Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
You might need a plug adapter to change the pin shape in some countries.

How to secure iPhone and iPad when traveling abroad against xtra charges?

You can either put them in "Flight Mode" ( Found in settings. This feature disables 3G, 4G and Wifi), or you can go into your settings and turn off mobile networking ( also found in settings, this allows you to connect to wifi, but disables mobile networking)

If it's not available in your region that statement would be correct. VPN is not supported

Using iPad when travelling

When I am abroad on holiday I sometimes need to use my iPad to receive large photo and video files.
Worse, I am often in places with poor wi-fi coverage.
How reliable is 3G at downloading video files?
How can I locate wi-fi hotspots when travelling?

I have an app called 'free wifi finder' by jiwire, inc
and it has a database to find wifi hotspots, and an offline database you can download as well. Seems to do pretty well for me.
At the very least you could look at it and see what entries it has for where you're going, just to get an idea.

Using iPad when travelling to Europe

Can I use my iPad in Italy and other places in Europe. Am only interested in connecting via WiFi?
Is there anything special I need to do this?

Here is my experience April 2014   (Ipad 4)
I purchased a Lebara sim card (data only) in Amsterdam near the central train station from Phone Point, (Address: Haring Pakkers--Steeg2-4, 1012 LR).    It was on a small side street, not a main street where prices are much higher. The card worked all over Holland. The young man was very helpful, helped me decide how many gigs I would need, and made sure it was connected before I left the store. I felt he was honest. He changed the APN number. (If you have a current sim card, be sure to take a picture on your ipad in Settings before the number is changed, so you can change back when you return to the USA. I have a Verizion sim card, but it automatically changed when I reinserted it back in my iPad when I came back to Los Angeles.)
When I arrived in Prague, I purchased a data sim card from Vodafone at the main train station. Again, the young man who waited on me was very helpful.   He changed my APN and made sure it worked before I left the store.
If you change sim cards like I did, take a picture in Settings of the APN number. I returned to Holland, so I used the Lebara sim card again after returning from Prague. I had the APN pic in my Camera Roll, so I referred to the picture to change the APN.
You will need an adapter to charge your iPad.
They can be purchased here in USA or in Europe at phone stores,

Use of another SIM card when traveling to Italy

Can I get a prepaid SIM card In Italy to use on my IPad? Does it have to be unlocked first? If so, do I have to contact AT&T. Any help is greatly appreciated.

David, This is very helpful. Would you expand on this? You obviously have an iPad 1 3G. Is that right? Was it originally purchased in the US? If so, it must have an AT&T SIM card. Is that right? If I understand you right you traveled to Germany, bought a prepaid SIM card there, inserted it in your iPad 3G and it worked. Were there any functions at all that would not work with the German pre-paid SIM card? Did you have to change any settings to receive your email on the iPad with the German pre-paid SIM installed?

How secure is iPad when travelling?

I plan to take my WiFi only iPad 2 with me for about three weeks of travel. How secure will I be using free hotel, or Starbucks, or airport WiFi networks?

There's no need to worry yourself over things like this, unless the information is highly confidential...
Few incidents occur where someone will actually bother to log onto a public network and then hack into others' computers/devices in order to gain access to information such as credit card numbers etc... computer viruses and trojans are much better designed for this kind of job.
If security really is a concern, consider using a VPN to access the internet after you have connected to a network.

Charging iPad when travelling overseas

I bought the PlugBug World iPad/iPhone Charger (I live in Canada). When I travel to Australia can I just plug my iPad in with it, or do I need something to convert the power too?

Thank you for your feedback. I suspected that it would be okay, but I just wanted to be sure as I didn't want to fry my iPad

Re: Use of another SIM card when traveling to Italy

Can I ask a similiar question. I bought an Ipad 1 3G in the US last year. Took it back to Australia and have been using it with a local 3G Network there - no problems. I am now back in the US and tried to get an AT&T micro sim today to use for the month I am here and they are saying I cannot get a prepaid card with AT&T because I dont have a Credit Card with a US Billing Address. Seems obsurd .... can anyone help me .... I really really really rely on my iPad and need 3G access while i am here for the month ....
Greatly appreciated in advance ...

G'Day Jamie;
Just go to a Apple Store and request a replacement micro-sim card. Go to a place that sells pre-paid credit cards - need one that has $25.00 or a little more. That pre-paid card is registered in the U.S. Just use your hotel/motels address for the registration. You're all set. As they would say in Australia "Easy Peasy."
By-the-way, welcome to the U.S.
Enjoy.

I can't use airplay from iphone/ipad when I update the system

It has been showed that "an error occurred loading this content, try again later".
how can i fix that?
and why apple TV can't output the sound to the AirPort Express on wifi? only airpay？？？？
so stupid...

Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs. Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem. Here was our solution:
1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one. This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device. For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone. For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center. From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

I have ipad & Mac,same apple ID, How communication use FaceTime between my iPad (out my home) & Mac( in my home)?

I have ipad & Mac,same apple ID, How I communication use FaceTime by my iPad when I'm out my home to my wife ( in home)?

I use my iPhone as a "baby monitor" to keep an eye on an elderly relative while she sleeps in one room and I'm working in another on my Mac. Setting up your two devices to FaceTime each other is simple:
Enable additional email addresses where you can be "reached" on FaceTime. Then enable the first on your Mac (disabling the second on your Mac) and the second on your iPad (disabling the first on your iPad).
On your Mac, go to FaceTime's Prefernces and look for "You can be reached by FaceTime at:" and at the bottom you'll see "Add Another Email..." Do so, then check only one email address for use on your Mac.
The process is similar on your iPad. Just be sure to check a different email address for use on your iPad.

I will be traveling to Rome and Paris. I'm concerned about frying my IPad when charging the battery. Will I need a converter/adapter to charge the battery or do I just need an adapter.

I will be traveling to Rome and Paris and I'm concerned about frying my iPad when charging. Will I need a converter/adapter when charging or will I just use an adapter?

what RBRY says. Look at the fine print on your power brick. It says 100v-240v. This means it can handle world wattage.....both the us 110 and the UK/and other places 220. Anything that displays that range works anywhere in the world with the right plug adapter.
You can get plug adapters at walgreens, walmart, target, kmart, best buy, office max, office depot.....almost any major retailer. Look in the travel/luggage area.
Do some googling and find out what Italian plugs look like or you can simply find a kit that is a 'world wide' kit.
