Using iphone while on holiday

Hi. I'm going to the USA for my holidays with my family. We have iphones and i aam wondering how i can store my photos and videos somewhere while i'm there so that my memory does not get full. Is that using icloud? If so can someone link me to a tutorial of how to use it.also, i do not want a large phone bill so what apps can you direct me to that will allow me to call and text for free…

Download an app called Dropbox, its like iCloud but you get 2GB free and it uploads pictures from your photostream automatically. Use that with iCloud which is another 5GB, its really easy there's a setting to turn it on under "Settings->iCloud->Photo Stream" and turn on the option for automatically upload. You can check if the photos have uploaded on iCloud.com. Those two together with give you 7GB worth of memory.

For apps, the ones to download are whatsapp (lets you text and send pictures for free), viber (free calls) and skype (free video calls). But the person you are trying to call will also need these apps installed.

I recommend turning off data roaming "Settings->General->Cellular".

  • Working holiday visa NZ - proof of finances? Can I use a screenshot on my iphone of my bank finances instead of a print out at customs? I'm travelling at the moment and fly tomorrow night but don't have access to a printer.
  • What technology should I take on holiday? I wanted to take my ipad mini for playing games or watching movies but didn't want to listen to music off it because I feel it is to big to take to the beach were as an iPod shuffle or nano is small enough to be discreet but I then i could take my iPhone 4 but I'm fed up of it and want to replace my phone with the htc one so is it stupid to take all this tech, has anybody got any buying advice
  • What should I ask for this holiday season? My family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas so my mom is asking for my wish list since Hanukkah is early this year? I have a couple tops and scarves, some books/drawing books and some DVDs I want but I need some more things for my list! I already have an iPad iPhone laptop camera and iPod… And don't need anything else big or expensive like that!
  • What gadgets should I take on holiday? I want to take my ipad mini so I could play games and movies but didn't want to listen to music off it because I feel it's to big for around the swimming pool so I was going to take my iPhone but after using nearly every day for music I'm bored of it and so I had an iPod shuffle but without the cable so I was going to buy another one is it worth it, I go on holiday it a week so need to make decisions now
