Can I receive text when I'm in a different country?
So I'm going to Guatemala for a month and a half and I was wondering if I could receive texts from the us If I'm out there. I have an iphone and my carrier is sprint. I just want to know if I'll be able to get the texts people send me even if I won't be able to text back. Also I'll have Wi-Fi out there
It really depends weather they have a sprint tower there or not, most likely not. However if you have Wi-Fi, you can download Google Voice and text/call for free using Wi-Fi, all you need is a gmail account.
- Will my iPhone 5 work in a different country? It's an iPhone 5, and I live in NZ. We're going on a trip to America for a couple of weeks, and I don't know if my phone will work. I don't care if I can't text or make phone calls, or about roaming or whatever with Vodafone. I just want to make sure I can use Wi-Fi like usual. Obviously the camera and iPod parts will work? But what about Internet? Cheers.
- Why when you buy IPhones from different country you need to have it unlocked? My friend told me that if i'm buying my phone from States and bringing it to asia i have to wait for 2 years for it to unlock why is that?
- Why don't I receive alerts or a notification when I receive a text and I already checked my settings? I adjusted my setting and even put the ringer and notifications on and put the volume and ringer on and I receive no alert, no pop up, alert or notification when someone texts me. Why? This is the iPhone X! I went to the cell phone/ carrier store and they didn't help me. They said to go to the apple store or check the settings. I already adjusted the settings. So what do I do now?
- When in a contract, can I get a different SIM while in another country? I'm going to china in 15 days and I want an IPhone so I can take pictures and have data while I'm there. I'm staying for an entire month. Getting this IPhone (with either sprint or T-mobile) with put me in a 2 year contract. Will I be able to use my phone while I'm there with the new SIM card I'm buying in China. I heard that my phone will be locked while I'm out of the country or something.
