How to use iPhone internationally without getting charged extra?
For instance, if I have access to Wi-Fi, can I use my apps and iMessage without being charged extra?
I know you have to turn data roaming off so you don't get charged.
If you receive a text or call, will it be charged? Or only if you open the text?
I'm traveling abroad and I just want to know how I can use my iPhone 5 internally without being charged!
If you have Wi-Fi, then you won't be charged extra. The only way you can get charged for a roaming fee is if you use your phone with another carrier while you're still on your original carrier. So if you receive a call or text, then yes, you will be charged extra. The way to avoid being charged? ALWAYS USE Wi-Fi and stick to Wi-Fi calling/texting apps and you should be fine. Hope this helped.

--yes, that's fine.

--yes you will be charged, you'd be charged before opening it.
Put the phone in Airplane Mode, turn back on your Wi-Fi & leave it there until you return to your country.
- Will I be charged extra if I use personal hotspot on my iphone 4s? (T-mobile)? I have unlimited data. I've looked online, but can't find a definite answer. If I will be charged extra, will I be charged a certain amount per day/week?
- Will I be charged extra for using 3G? I don't have a data plan. On my iPhone, i've turned off the cellular data in the settings. But 3G was on and I didn't know. I did use internet these past few days in places with low Wi-Fi reception. I'm not sure if I ended up using the 3G or Wi-Fi. Is it even possible to use 3G if cellular data is turned off? Suppose I did use 3G, will my phone company charge me extra, even though cellular data was off? I'm really confused about this.
- Using Skype internationally without Wi-Fi? Okay my boyfriend is going away and he has unlimited Internet on his phone, I know some of them are like up to this much but his really is unlimited and basically I don't know wether he will have access to Wi-Fi where he is going but can you use Skype using just the Internet, it's an iPhone so is it possible to use FaceTime as well?
- IPhone getting charged for 3G use? I just recently got an iPhone 4. I have a 2gig data plan. I use Wi-Fi whenever I can but if I don't have Wi-Fi and am therefore connected to 3G, I don't go on the Internet. However, Verizon has notified me that I have used 50% of my data package for this month. I thought using Wi-Fi made it so it DOESN'T go against my plan? Even though I don't use the Internet with the 3G, am I still getting charged for being connected to it? (With verizon)
