Using my android in Mexico without incurring roaming charges, etc.?

I want to know if I can turn off settings to be able to use my phone for pictures and using the hotels wifi and not incurring roaming charges on my phone while in Mexico.

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it there. You can turn on wifi after the phone is in Airplane Mode.

  • Is there a way to use location services while in Europe without incurring roaming charges?

    I am traveling in Europe and I want to use a mapping program that requires location services.  Is there any way to do this without incurring roaming charges?

    Turn off the cellular function and only use wifi.

  • I-phone 5 - can you reduce the megapixel size of pictures without incurring data charges?  I understand if I e-mail my pictures to myself, there is an option to define the pixel size of the pict. What if I upload from phone to computer via cable?

  • I am going to the usa this week.  although I have a Rogers sim card inserted into my ipad I have not activated it. I don't want to incur roaming charges by activating it and taking it to the usa. any advise,

    I am travelling to the usa for 10 days soon,  I wish to take my ipad, my hotel doesn't have free wireless. I have a Rogers sim card inserted by the Apple store, but I have not activated it.  I don't wish to activate it to use in the states because of roaming charges.  any suggestions.

    If available in the USA, get a pre-paid micro-SIM card for the iPad and use the cellular network there.
    It might be enough for 10 days (check what is available and connection rates) and could serve you again for a future trip to the USA.

  • European travel and roaming charges, etc.

    I am going to Italy and although won't use my phone for calling as Verizon doesn't work there, I would like to check email, listen to podcasts, and use apps.  Does anyone know if that will trigger roaming charges?  Any advice on this?  I will call Verizon to discuss as well, but I don't trust their competence on the other end of the phone....

    You can only use your Verizon phone over WiFi in Italy. Your Verizon iPhone is a CDMA phone. Italy uses GSM. You will not incur any roaming charges. Whether you will be required to pay anything for the WiFi depends on the WiFi provider.

  • Can I use "Maps" with WiFi anywhere (in Europe) without incurring data charges?

    Hertz offers a mobile WiFi with a rental vehicle, and I'm wondering whether I can use "Maps" through that system?  Would I have to ensure network connections are off?  Appreciate any expertise on this one.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You will experience no cost as long as you're on the wifi connection at all times. When I was in europe, my "data while roaming" option was set to off. I wouldn't use any data unless I was connected to a wifi hotspot somewhere, which are quite common in Europe.
    To set the data services off while roaming, open up your settings. Go to Network Connections > Mobile Network. You can toggle your mobile network to off if you don't want to use your phone while in Europe or leave it on up to you but for data, use the drop down option and set it to Off. This way it won't use data over any mobile network and so only when using WiFi.

    E-mail required the internet.  Internet requires a smartphone and data package.  Under the old pricing structure, the smallest data package is 2GB for $30.  Under the new Share Everything plans, the smallest data -ackage is 1GB for $50, but you can share with other devices.  You should click in Shop above and check out the plans.
    Verizon offers an email service for non-smartphones called Mobile Email. According to this Gizmodo article (link is below), it apparently was initially compatible with only certain of the non-smartphone models available at that time.
    At the present time, every one of the non-smartphone models  listed on Verizon's website is listed as having Mobile Email compatibility.
    As far as finding out what discontinued phones are compatible with Mobile Email, phonescoop lists this. For example, search for the Intensity II at phonescoop.com Halfway down the page, phonescoop says "Email Client: Yes"
    On our Samsung u370 (aka Samsung Reality) and Casio Ravine 2 non-smartphones, Mobile Email is pre-installed as an unactivated app in the Media Center section of the phone.

    And believe me, the roaming charges are truly frightening! 
    But in those spots where 4G/LTE works ok, speed is outstanding. So they can stick you with a HUGE roaming charge in a jiffy..... 

  • How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

    How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

    Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.

  • Roaming Charges

    I recently went to Cancun. I added a 1000 minute Mexico/Canada package before I went. Through an on line chat with Verizon, that is what I was told I needed to make a phone call from Cancun to the US. So 4 calls were placed from my phone to the states while I was there. None of the 1000 minutes were used and then I got zinged with roaming charges. Is that not why I would have added the calling plan a head of time? CONFUSED!!!!

        I know it's important to understand your statement charges and have the right plan options to meet your needs hosejockey23efd. Did you have the opportunity to review your statement in detail(print version). This will provide a detailed breakdown of charges. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc It is possible the roaming charges you incurred were for data use and not voice calls. We are happy to review your account. Please follow and send us a PM.

  • I'm headed to Europe in a month with an iPad 2 w/ATT 3G. Will I be able to use the 3G without excess roaming fees?

    I'm headed to Europe in a month with an iPad 2 w/ATT 3G. Will I be able to use the 3G without excess roaming fees?

    I have just been back from Germany. Using GPRS/EDGE or 3G Roaming will certainly incur additional cost to you.  However, there are many service providers in Europe with different 3G using rates/KB and minimum KB usage per log-in.  Check price before you log-in to any network.
    Recommend to check 1) your local mobile operator for Roaming promotion in Europe or 2) buy International SIM from your country with very lower cost of calling, receiving calls, and using data (I am not sure your country has these kind of service provider).

  • Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

    Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
    I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
    As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
    I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
    Additional info: 
    Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access.  The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

    I stand corrected!
    Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
    Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

  • Can I use iPhone 4s in China without roaming charges?

    We are leaving for China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore in 2 weeks. I want to purchase an iPhone 4S, but want to use it without roaming charges. Can this be done and how?

    You can buy and unlocked phone (http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=iphone+4s+unlocked) and then purchase service from the local country you're visiting and insert their SIM.  It would probably be cheaper to purchase a short-term international plan from a local carrier though.  Call the major carriers and ask; here's a list:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937.  (Be careful about purchasing a phone outside of the country you're in; the warranty is country-specific.  If you buy one in Singapore you won't get warranty service in the U.S.)

  • Using droid bionic in Mexico

    Can droid bionic be used offline in Mexico to access stored app such as translator in Mexico?

    Yes, as long as the app itsself does not require a data connection.  Your best option would be to put your phone into airplane mode, turning off all cellular radios, and making sure you do not get any roaming charges.  While in airplane mode, WiFi can still be turned on and off if you wish to connect that way.  This will not use any of your data allowance.
