Can you use iMessage on the iPhone 4 while abroad?
I'm leaving on a trip to Europe tomorrow night. I want to use iMessage to let my loved ones know that I made it safely to my destination. The guy that works at Verizon told me that the iPhone 4 is not a "global phone", so I can't set up an international data or messaging plan, which is fine. But, can I still use iMessage from a Wi-Fi hotspot?
As long you have Wi-Fi
Yes it would work fine using Wi-Fi.
- Will I be charged if I receive an oncoming call while traveling abroad? I'm traveling abroad and taking my iPhone. I don't have an international package so I'm not planning on making any calls or sending messages. However, what if someone calls me instead? What will happen if I ignore the call and let it go straight to voicemail? Will I get charged for it?

- No service message on iPhone while abroad? I'm on Orange in the UK, and have arrived in America today however I can't get any service on my iPhone 4, I have tried turning it off and on again, manually choosing the service but it can't connect, as well as reseting the network settings but it's still not working. My friend is on Vodafone and hers came up automatically when she switched her phone back on after the flight… Has anyone got any ideas on how to get mine to work?
