Want to reduce your costs when you travel with the iPhone? Then follow these simple steps!
1. Turn off data roaming
Mobile Data is used when sending and receiving e-mails, surf the Web and using other data services such as weather, Exchange and download applications from the App Store. Mobile Data is generally very expensive when you travel outside your own country. If you do not need these services, disable them. To do this, go to Settings, Network and data roaming.
2. Disable Internet Sharing
Internet sharing is great if you do not have a 3G broadband connection on your computer. Simply plug your iPhone enable sharing of the connection and have access to the Internet. However, it is very easy to forget what you have on. Before you know it, you can be affected by a bill of large data simply because you were tied up and your computer starts downloading updates Windows update or similar. Disable Internet Sharing by going to Settings, General, Network and Internet Sharing
3. Make sure you have a pin code in place
Not only can this save you $ if you lose your phone and someone starts else uses your account for data and voice, he is also a security option for your unique personal information about the iPhone is not seen. You will be prompted to enter a PIN every time you use the iPhone, but you'll be protected should be your lost iPhone, lost or stolen. Set your PIN by going to Settings, General, and Lock code. Remember this code! If you do, you need to reset to factory settings and start again.
4. Using Wi-Fi when you can
If you check your mail or access the Internet, instead of using the 3G mobile data services, using a wi-fi. There a few free hotspots around, and these are usually advertised in the cafes or malls. Other vendors may also provide Wi-Fi service at a cost, but they are generally less than a 3G connection.
5. Getting lost can be expensive!
If you get lost, and using Google Maps to know where you are, be aware of the cost of this. Google Maps is very talkative and you can end up poor and lost fairly quickly.
6. If you are really paranoid!
Disable flight mode on if you're really paranoid about food through your plan data. Flight mode means the radio is off, but the iPhone continues to operate as a PDA, though the applications that make the work of the cool iPhone no more. This will at least give you peace of mind while traveling abroad!
