I'm traveling to Cuba with a group of friends and family. A number of us have blackberries, none of us have full data plans but rather social networking plans (e.g.. BBM, fb, twitter). I'm wondering if we can talk to each other while all being in Cuba without extra costs. Also keeping in mind about the ability to turn off roaming.

View 13 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I each have an unlocked, no-contract iPhone 4s. Next month we'll be traveling for a couple weeks in Croatia (mostly) and a few days in Slovenia. We're planning to bring our phones with us. We'll be making just a few calls (probably to each other, when we get separated), and using some data - we'll try to take advantage of wfi when its available in our hotels, but I expect we'll use some data when no wifi is available. Doesn't have to be terribly fast (no streaming video), we'll make do with whatever connection speeds are available. I assume we can remove the micro-sim cards from the phones at home, before we leave (leaving them safely at home), then upon arrival at our destination purchase micro-sim cards for both phones, insert them and...I guess activate them on the local network.
Will the phones work during our flight over, without any sim card - (obviously not for calls or data, but for listening to music, watching preloaded movies or playing games)? I've never done this before, but I assume that all content on the phones (music, movies, apps & associated data) will be preserved - correct? Are there any gotchas I should watch out for around iTunes accounts, Apple IDs, setup, etc.? (my wife is not very good about remembering her itunes password...even at home). Basically, do I just pay for the local micro sim card and voice/data plan upon arrival, pop it in the phone, start it up, and start using it? Or do I need to go through any kind of initialization/reset process? My goal is to just change the phone carrier/phone number, but leave everything else on the phone intact and functional - so it's easily switched back once we get home.
I'll make sure that we've updated our phones and synced them via iTunes before we leave home, but I'm assuming we will not have access to any computer (at least none that I'd want to plug my phone into) while we're traveling. Once we get back home a few weeks later, I'm expecting things to return to normal when we pop our "domestic" sim cards back in - I'll assume we can start using the phones on our existing domestic carrier (with our original phone numbers) without having to jump through any extra hoops - correct? (BTW, no, I don't want to just pay our domestic carrier for a travel voice/data package - not an option for us, thanks; one of the reasons we bought unlocked, no-contract phones was to be able to use them internationally with local sim cards.)

View 11 Replies View RelatedI know this is probably vague since the new iPhone hasn't been released yet, but I would like to buy the iPhone 4 at its release, from AT&T without the contract ($599/$699), because I move to Germany a few weeks later. As far as I know it is still locked to AT&T then. Could you use it with a German sim card. How do I activate or can I avoid an activation and how can I use it in Germany? Do I need to wait for an unlock? I don't want to buy it in Germany because it is far more expensive and I don't want to use it with the standard-iPhone carrier.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently updated my iPhone 3g and am irritated with how slow it's running as I've heard a lot of people are. I've read about downgrading to the old OS but I'm beginning to consider jailbreaking it. I only have a few questions and i was hoping someone would know:
1) I'm planning on spending 6 months in SE Asia toward the end of this year. I'd like my phone to work there if possible. I'll completely admit that I've not researched this topic enough but my general question is, can I jailbreak my phone and then enable it for use in SE Asia, if so how?
2) Would jailbreaking the phone make it more difficult in some way to enable it for use there?
Unintelligible questions I know and I apologize but I have no idea with where to start for all of it.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow is Apple going to expand sales into 17 more countries at the end of this week, but I've ordered my iPhone over a week ago and it still has a ship date of August? Yet, they can sell more phones in other countries...are they just mass producing all these phones the past few weeks and saving them up for the new launch in these other countries and holding out in the U.S.?? Makes me a little upset, I am not an Apple fan and never have been. I have been using Android for quite some time now and never had any issues but I finally decided to make the switch to try something new and yet it gets worse and worse before I can even get my hands on the actual phone!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got my 850 back out, and it's clear the keyboard and mouse are far superior to anything any company makes or has ever made for real typing.So I thought ... I wish I could activate this thing for email or chat or something. I thought about 3 things - in order of most optimal first:
1) Find a way to have it use an internal 802.11g modem, so that it becomes an internet wireless device, or if it's easier a GSM SIM card.
2) Find a DATATAC to 802.11g gateway device to plug into a normal wireless router.
3) Find a way to convert it into a bluetooth keyboard (why not, it's better as simply a keyboard and mouse than anything I could find after a few hours of searching and looking.
Has anyone ever heard of anyone trying to do a little hw/sw conversion? I searched but I can't find anything like this online.Maybe another option is RIM sells the rights to the devices and software for the 850/950 to the Chinese who make lots of devices for cheap and they manufacture it as a cheap text / mail messaging device to sell to people who have real work to do but want to type at 40 WPM with no repetitive stress rather than the finger-aching motions now that get you 15 WPM on all existing thumb boards.
Anyway who has used these keyboards can testify to the speed and ease of typing, even if they don't sport a browser, phone and other things I could live with.I've had recent model blackberries and every model of iphone and many many different models of phones, pages, etc. It was never much better than when I had a cell phone smaller than a credit card from Hong Kong and my RIM 850.
2nd best setup I had was also a blackberry, but again with that sort of solid Germanic engineering - this time from a Siemens SK65. Sometimes I consider just getting a cheap SIM card for text messaging and pulling it out of the closet because it was still far better than any existing keyboard though nothing of the elegant beauty of the RIM 850 or RIM 950.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have looked through countless forums and documentation and can not find any definitive answer as to whether or not a Blackberry smartphone can, via WiFi, can connect to a VPN without BES. All documentation and How-To's point in the direction of BES to answer all my questions.
What I would like is a yes or no answer. Does the Blackberry support VPN to a Microsoft VPN server via L2TP or PPTP without BES? To be even more specific: Can I connect, without BES, with EAP-SIM authentication via IKE-V2 protocol, via a VPN connection?
I actually have looked at a lot of the documentation and my gut feel is that it is not possible, but I need confirmation so that I can inform my company of the Blackberry's feature set and limitations.
