[apple-iphone] Travel adjustments to avoid cell charges

 

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.

Re: [apple-iphone] Malware in iPhone 6 iOS 9.0.2

 

China thing?  It affected Apple's app store.   Apple had to remove 50+ apps that had been constructed with the hacked version of Xcode and yielded apps that passed Apple's security tests.

There was also a problem with the china App Store. Some developers were not using tools direct from apple but from a third party site. Dumb and dumber. As far I I've heard that was only a china thing. Mike

Then it may not be of any use.
Any other app which may do that?

SMS text messaging requires cellular data, but Dataman does not log text messages separately from any other data use.

Recently, I was charged for SMSes to a Value added service, which I never sent.

On my query, my service provider informed that I may have downloaded an app called "emo" which automatically sends SMSes to a number.
I do not have that app.
All my apps have been download from AppStore.

Are there more such apps which do this.

Is this not a malware?

Does Apple team not check for such malware before putting them on to AppStore?

Is AppStore country specific? 
I thought it was country linked only for prices  and currency method.

With best wishes,
