How to travel to Europe with my iphone?
I'm going to be traveling for several months to Europe from the US and will mostly be based in the UK and I want to take my iPhone 5s with me.
I was thinking I could buy a SIM card thru Vodafone and use that while out there but would it work while I'm in other countries in Europe and would it give me a number that I could be contacted thru?
Also, would I be able to text and call people from to the US? And when I come back, will I still be able to keep my same US number?
Any advice on this would be great as it's my first time traveling abroad and want to be able to have access to my phone in the cheapest way possible!
Some info about my phone:
It's an iphone 5s and It was purchased at the apple store and the carrier I use is verizon.
You can use your phone and probably whatever service you have now, it will be super expensive though. If i were you I'd get an app for my phone like voxer and just use Wi-Fi to connect to people in the US
- Will I need an electrical/power adapter to travel to England? (I live in Canada)? I'm traveling to England next summer to visit some family for a month and I was wanting to bring my laptop and phone along with me. I have a Sony Vaio and iPhone 4 (I don't know if that makes a difference at all). If I need to get one, what type do I buy and where can I purchase one? Preferably not online.
- When I unlock my iphone can I use a prepaid SIM card when I travel? I live in Germany and a friend sold me her iphone 3gs when her contract was up. She said the phone would be unlocked after a certain date but it hasn't yet. If i do this myself will I be able to use any SIM card? I have 1and1 for phone service and when I travel to the states I get a prepaid SIM from tmobile. Will these work on the iphone too?
- What sim to use in USA and what travel money card to take? Anyone know: 1. A cheap mobile sun card that would fit in iPhone 4 that an Aussie could use in the states for a few weeks? 2. Best/ cheapest money/ travellers card to take?
- What happens to the IPhone when you travel? So I was planning on going to Mexico and IIm from the USA and I was wondering can the iPhone still work normal like if I was still in the USA? Or is there a process to be followed?
