I was wondering if U.S. iphone can be used overseas......... say Italy or Spain? I'm thinking I would have to use a pre-paid SIM purchased there but not exactly sure. Also, the WiFi should have no issues being used in another country correct?
View 15 RepliesI think perhaps one email was successfully sent from Mail, but nothing more till I returned home. Mail said it was a server error on the outgoing server, but it appears too coincidental with being overseas. Also a couple of apps I tried didn't work (Viber, and as I might have expected, Catchup TV as it's for UK viewers).
Any tips for using the phone overseas? I switched data roaming and Mobile Data off as I didn't need them in the hotel room (and for the cost of course) and switched these both back on when I arrived in the UK. But it seems odd that I could not send Mail in a Wifi environment.

I'm using a Bold 9900 and brought it to the UK from South Africa with my South African sim card (MTN) the device is on roaming, but reception is so bad that the device is almost un usable.I have it connected to the home WI-FI here in the UK and this allows me to use my BIS. For 3 weeks while I have been here, I have been able to use BBM etc while in range of the WI-FI. Today I inserted a friends spare "3" or "Network-3" sim card to allow me to make calls easier and cheaper while I'm here, took the sim card out, put my old one back in and that's when the problem started.No BIS anymore when connected to the WI-FI on my originally "BIS" working MTN sim card.Now I have looked around the web and the only thing I have come across is something vague referring the PIN pairing itself with the network/carrier.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe world edition purchased years ago came unlocked from Bell. It has served me well in India and other countries in that a local simm card could be used to reduce roaming charges. Recently in Africa I had no service. It also prompted to insert a simm card. The moment I returned to Toronto I had full service again. Would an operating system update fix this new bug ? If so, is where can I download the fix?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a blackberry 9780 and it won't send text messages overseas. Even when I receive an overseas sms and I want to reply, when I click on the SEND button, my phone will freeze and I will have to restart my phone and once it restarts this message will always come << uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_messaging_app(145) is not responding; process terminated >>. What does that mean? The phone is originally from telus but I unlocked it and now am with koodo and the monthly plan I took with koodo allows me to send unlimited overseas text messages, so now its like am paying for a service I cant use! I called koodo and they said there system works perfectly.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi bought a xoom (wifi) while in the us a few weeks ago. after arriving back to vietnam and setting-up my google and android market accounts a number of apps that i tried to download advised me that they are not available for download in "my country". how can i get these apps (e.g., amazon kindle; riptide, etc.) loaded in to my xoom wifi?also ... the android market doesn't even show "books" or "movies" within my android market, nor can i access google books for purchasing! do i have to change my location on my android market account to the us ... can i even do this after its been set-up?i did some further trouble-shooting including the following:
i have contacted various app developers .... all of which have confirmed to me that they allow and support free & paid app downloads in vietnam.i have had multiple friends in the us attempt to access and download numerous android apps to my android market account from their us-based web servers, but they receive the same comment i.e., "this item cannot be installed in your device's country", even though they are on a us server.
it is therefore clear that the problem is with my google/android market/xoom set-up, so can anyone assist me to confirm whether i can either:delete my android market account from my google account and "re-start", setting my location as the united states. (while retaining all my gmail; Internet; etc. account settings and files.) fix my current google/android market account settings to indicate i am in the united states so that i can download apps?
I am trying to install Skype on my Atrix 4G without luck. I am US military stationed in the UAE, and the freedom police here have determined that people who live here should not be able to use Skype. We all get around this by using VPNs, but it doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Using the VPN on my router and the home wireless network, I got all the way to the download skype for Android button. When I tried to select my phone as the intended device, I got a message that said this country doesn't allow Skype, and it would not install. just push a button on the phone and do Skype to Skype, or even Skype to telephone with my family back in the US instead of firing up the computer. Can I perhaps download to my computer then use a cable to install on the phone?
