Travelling with our AT&T-based iPhone5s

We fly from the USA to London and spend a couple of days in London (hopefully sleeping off the jet lag), then on to an 11-day cruise around the British Isles (Ireland and Scotland, no Wales), followed immediately by a flight back to the USA. We'd like to be able to maintain contact with our adult children for emergency purposes. We have no experience using telephones overseas. Can someone either make suggestions, or point to some good article that contains suggestions for using your phone in that manner? We'd like to avoid, if possible, astronomical charges for that previlege, but don't have the foggiest notion what to do or what to not do. if your phone is unlocked and can use a sim, get a local sim there. you'll pay local rates for calls and you will have a local number. someone calling you would need to call england. or, just use it on wifi. be absolutely sure to turn off cellular. also remove the sim (if it has one) so that there's no accidental connections. you can also use voip for international phone calls and not pay much (or at all). If they have an iPhone 5 it is not likely they have an unlocked iPhone on AT&T. They won't unlock it unless it is out of contract. In any case buying a local sim is overkill if they only want to use it for emergency purposes. Text messages are the least expensive way of keeping in contact on a cruise. They can also text when the ship is at sea and on the ships cell service. -- Charles |
