Re: [apple-iphone] Travel adjustments to avoid cell charges

FT is also between Apple iDevices and needs wifi at either end.

However, some countries do not permit FT.

United Arab Emirates is one of them and there could be more.

For universal usage, Skype is used. It is neither banned anywhere not restricted to Apple iDevices.

I believe Messages will only work if both the sender and receiver have Apple iDevices. Otherwise it will try to send it as a SMS, but without cellular, it will not send the text.

I believe FT can world over WiFi, but I do not use it.

A good friend is traveling in Australia and visiting her husband's relatives. She's not very tech savvy and wants to know how to avoid cell charges while iMessaging and using FaceTime.

I told her to turn on Airplane Mode to shut off cellular. Since AM also shuts off WIFI, I told her to turn WIFI on again. That way she will only use WIFI which is free and not build up a massive cell charge.

Did I give her good info? I'd hate to be the cause of her getting a gigantic bill when she gets home to Vermont.
