Travelling with our AT&T-based iPhone5s

If WIFI is not a problem, turn off "cellular data" and "data roaming" and use WIFI and Apps like Skype for international calls (well, if NSA is not a concern). If I remove AT&T's SIM card or turn off the phone, all calls go to myGoogle Voice (shudder! worse than NSA!) and I can listen to them (or read an abysmally poor job of transcription) via internet. -- Wes Groleau If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.

If you can unlock your iPhone, getting a pre-paid SIM there will cost you less and more importantly, remove the risk of bankrupcy when you get home and get your AT&T bill. Since I wasn't unlocked, I couldn't do that in Italy. But the charges for the few calls I made were much lower than I feared. -- Wes Groleau If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.

You can also leave cell on for voice and turn off data. you can, but it can still roam on voice and cause unexpected charges. if someone happens to call you and it rings, you could be screwed. the safest thing to do is turn off cellular completely (airplane mode) or get a local sim (or just leave the original sim out, if it's gsm). |

While one can remove a SIM while the phone has alreayd been turned on, my experience is that when you turn on a phone, there must be a sim card installed otherwise it goes into emergency mode that only lets you dil 911 or something. My GSM/3G iPhone works fine without a SIM. When I turn it on it comes up with a message saying "No SIM Card Installed", but it then works quite normally using wi-fi as an internet connection. Chris |
