Can you text someone from another country if they are visiting your country?
So I currently live in America, and one of my friends is living in Canada so we're unable to text each other without a fee. My friend is actually coming to New York for a few days on a field trip in school, meaning she will be in the country.
Does this mean that we can text each other while she is in the country, or not cause her number is still registered to Canada?
If it helps at all, I have AT&T she she is using an Iphone
If you guys have both smartphones, I would recommend you guys to download Viber with free call and free text but you can only use it as long as you both have internet or 4g.
No.
Your friend will pay roaming fees the moment he/she connects to a US carrier. The text message has to go from his phone, to a US carrier, to the Canadian carrier, back to the US carrier, to your phone. The US carrier will charge him a fee to connect to their network and his carrier will charge a fee in forwarding the message to a US carrier. Some plans will do so for reduced fees.
If you want to exchange messages without any fees… Have him put his phone in 'airplane mode' so it isn't connecting to any cell phone network and then connect to free Wi-Fi (when available) and either send an email, instant messaging, Facebook, FaceTime, Skype, etc.
- What happens when you block someone on an iPhone 6, and they text you or call you? Specifically, does the phone keep ringing or does it say the call can't be made? Does the text deliver and just never show up on the receiving phone, or does the sender get a message saying the text can't be sent? (The other phone is not an iPhone.)
- What happens if you block someone and they attempt to call or text you? I have a Verizon 4s iphone. I recently got the ios7 update and it comes with an option to block contacts. What happens if I block my ex and he tries to call me? Text also? Will he be notified that I blocked him? Or what happens?
- Is it rude to ask for someone's Wi-Fi code when visiting their home? I had a friend come over to work on a project for school and upon entering, she immediately sat down and checked her iPhone and asked me what the password to my Wi-Fi was. I ended up telling her but In my opinion I thought that was really rude and disrespectful as she came to work on a project not sit around and be on her phone the whole time. Everyone's saying its not a big deal but I just want opinions. Would you consider this as rude if someone did this in your home?
- If you text someone, can they find out your name easily? As in, will it show up anywhere where they could easily access it. My phone is an iPhone 3G, and I think the other person's phone I'm referring to is either an iPhone 4S or 5g. And if so, is there a way I can mask my name?
