Viber on my iphone 4s while traveling

I am travelling outside the usa. I do have a data plan but want to ensure i use viber via wifi on my iphone 4s and that data is not being used.

Hello gupta115
You can do one of two things; the first is to turn off Data Roaming or you can turn off Cellular Data. If you turn off Cellular Data, you will still be able to send and receive phone calls and send SMS messages. That way you can solely rely on Wi-Fi when you travel.

Can I use iPhone 5c while traveling abroad?

Can I use iPhone 5c while traveling abroad to obtain data connection? please help

Ask your carrier. It will depend on whether you have a plan that allows international roaming and whether that includes data.
You can use WiFi anywhere in the world where there is an available WiFi network you're authorized to connect to.

I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently. Tried using Find My iPhone app to locate it, but it didn't show up...probably because not turned on. I have the original receipt with article number and serial number. Is there any way to locate it wit

I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently. I tried using the Find My iPhone App (which showed my iMac, my iPhones, my old iPad, and my macbook) but the mini didn't show up...probably because it was turned off or the battery ran down.
I still have the original receipt from when I purchased it, showing the article number and the serial number. Is there any way to locate it with that info?

No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
Have you reported it to the police in case somebody hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.

While traveling in Ireland and riding on hotel WiFi, emails sent from iPhone not always received -- some were, some were not. All were shown as sent on my iPhone.

While traveling in Ireland last week, I was using my iPhone 5 to access my incoming email and to send email. All of my outgoing emails are shown as sent but not all were received. Not a function of whether emails were replies or particular addressees -- some emails to same addressees received, others not. Help would be appreciated.

That sounds like a local WiFi issue...can you login to the email server of your email provider? If so, you can check and see if the emails you sent reached the server.
Providers like Verizon, and AT&T, and Comcast in the US have direct login capability for subscribers...there you can check your account activity and see if the emails were received by the server to send on. The iPhone merely shows you that the email left the iPhone, nothing about what happened after that.

Is there any way to use iphone as a backup for images while travelling

Iphone would make a great back up store for digital images taken with a real camera while travelling, if there was a way to transfer full resolution image files from a PC to iphone via USB. When I am travelling light, I dont carry a laptop with itunes and the iphone doesn't appear as a drive when connected to a computer. Not sure why the file system is hidden.
Any ideas for this?

The iphone does not support disk mode, which would allow it to be used for storage.
At present, I know of no way to do what you want.

Can I use my iPhone 5 GPS' to give me direction while traveling in Europe?

Can I use my iPhone 5's GPS ( with global plan) while traveling in Europe?

Sure. I'd suggest you install a mapping application where the data is stored locally on your phone. Much faster & less data usage.

How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks for your help.

You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

How do we transfer photos from our iPhone to our larger 32g iPad mini while travelling?

How do we transfer photos from our iPhone to our larger capacity iPad while travelling ?
ANY INFO please,

One way would be via a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com One advantage of that is that it claims to be able to transfer via Bluetooth so if you wouldn't have to find free wi-fi or use a lot of cellular data while traveling. PhotoSync seems to have a good reputation but there are probably other similar 3rd party apps.

App store no longer works after installing iOS6 while traveling

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4S that I updated to iOS 6 while traveling in Brazil. Now, even though my Apple account was created in the U.S. tied to the U.S. App Store, when I open the App Store it automatically goes to the Brazilian App Store and pops up an error message that my account is invalid for use in the Brazil App Store because it is an American account. I've been using the App Store just fine for years from various countries as I travel. It has always gone directly to the U.S. App Store regardless of where I am in the world. Now it only seems to pull up the Brazilian App Store and not allow me to update apps or make purchases.
My question is has anyone else experienced this? Is it because I updated to iOS 6 while physically traveling in Brazil so the phone thinks it is a Brazil-based phone or is it a bug in iOS 6 that prevents you from using App Store while outside the U.S.? I haven't been able to test what it does when I'm in the U.S. as I haven't returned yet. All of my settings on the phone are in English and set up for U.S. settings - there's no setting in the phone set up for Brazil or the Portuguese language.
If this is because I installed iOS 6 while in Brazil, how do I fix that? Do I have to re-install iOS 6 while in the U.S.? If so, how do I trigger a re-install and what do I do in the meantime to use App Store while traveling? Is there a work-around that allows me to switch it from the Brazil App Store to U.S. App Store? The error message I receive indicates that I need to change to the U.S. App Store in order to install apps but doesn't mention how to do that, as there don't appear to be config options in App Store.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Brent

How to properly update iTunes content while traveling abroad?

Spent some time searching and found a number of threads covering T&Cs and whys and wherefores of US Citizens on extended overseas travel trying to update or purchase iTunes content. There's a lot of 'why not' but not much 'how to'.
I'm seeking the Apple-approved solution for those of us with US based iTunes accounts who are traveling or deployed overseas or take extended temporary jobs abroad. How can we legally, properly, update our podcast subscriptions, apps for iPhones, or purchase content?
Do we have to simply change the country setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store window, so we are interacting with whatever the local Store is and the content will live happily in iTunes no matter which Store it was purchased from?
Do we have to set up a new account with local credit card in every land we are assigned?
There has to be a way, it seems illogical that you can't update podcasts or apps while traveling. There's got to be an Apple-approved method for this!
If anyone knows the answer or a link to the answer or something near to it, please provide the info. The T&C are clear enough in regards to "purchases" and using the US store only from in the US, but doesn't answer the 'how-to' for customers traveling abroad who are not spending any money by getting new podcast episodes or free app updates.
So again, no need to rehash the T&C, just seeking the 'proper' way to update things if away for a while. I'll be stupefied if I hear that the official Apple answer is the iPhone content is frozen in place until I get back in US territory.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Chris.
After posting the message, I changed my iTunes Store to India (where there may be work opportunities) and there were only Apps and iTunes U content tabs, and the T&C were similar-can only shop at the store where you are connecting from. So unless the store looks different when logging in while physically in India, there wouldn't be a way to update podcasts.
I am concerned about an important distinction, though, which is 'what will work' vs. 'what is T&C compliant'...

I have downloaded Viber to my iPhone 4s, it was previously working but now displays a message saying i need to connect to the internet before i can make a call or anything else, My phone is connected but the app does not seem to recognise this?

I have downloaded Viber to my iphone 4S, it was previously working, but as of today it has continually asked for an internet connection when i try to make a call or send a message. It displays this message while connected to the internet at my home, or with 3g. my internet connections seems to work fine on other apps that require this. I have tried to reinstall viber but i can not not setup my profile becauase the same message displays. does anyone know how i can resolve this?

Thanks, as it still will not work, I assume it is damaged and needs to be sent in for repairs.

Can i activate my twin sim card in a new iphone 4s while being in the States?

Hi all! I live in Cyprus and I'm travelling to the States next week. I'm planning to buy the iphone 4s from an apple store (factory unclocked) and I would like to know if I can activate the twin sim card I purchased from my carrier here in Cyprus. The carrier is vodaphone and the reason I bought a twin sim card is that I already have another mobile device which uses a sim card. The people at the carrier's office told me that in order to activate the seond sim card (or twin card, both sim cards use the same phone number) I need to type #103# to swtich between the devices. If I was going to do this in Cyprus, it will work, but what about doing this thing while being in the States? Can I put the new sim card in the new iphone 4s that I'm going to buy, type #103# and then the sim card will be activated? Or should I need to do somethine else?
In case I cannot do this or if there is an alternative plan (e.g., activate the sim card using a friend's iphone 4s while I'm in Cyprus?), I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

In my OPINION, you will not be able to activate your SIM issued from Cyprus while in U.S.A. The simple logic is, your "future SIM" will be on roaming in U.S.A. and in order to search for the signals for roaming partner carrier and get registered (provided that there is a roaming partner of vodaphone Cyprus in U.S.A.) it needs to be activated first. So, you need to activate your SIM in Cyprus to be able to use it with a compatible roaming partner in U.S.A.

I am U.S. iPhone 4S user traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that it because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal even if slowest. Any work arounds for this design flaw?

I am U.S. iPhone 4S owner traveling in China. Data speed is too slow to be usable. Verizon says that is because iPhone 4S connects to strongest signal, even if slowest (virtually non-existent) data network. Does anyone know how to work around this design flaw?

I spent 2 months in china with my old iphone 3gs. Both China Unicomm and China Mobile were accessible through my US phone. (for you other users, yes my phone bill was sky high, but it's a small price to pay when you get instant access to your wife while you are gone... and to be able to use the google translate app). I had a GSM phone (obviously) and had the ability to choose what carrier I wanted my phone to connect to (the same thing was available when I was in italy as well).
it was under
general-> network> then there was a new field (that does not normally show up when in the US) that listed the available networks to connect to. my phone always attempted china unicomm first, and switched to china mobile only when unicomm was unavailible.
but if wjosten is correct (and i imagine he is), cdma phones may not be able to choose what network to connect to.
