So - for my son to text a French number from his AT&T phone while in France, he texts to "0" plus the 9-digit cell number, and it will work? Thanks.

I'm starting to get the feel of it. As I see it, with data roaming off, airplane mode on, wi-fi on, while wi-fi is available, my son will be able to use iMessage. If Apple servers are not available,...

WiFi connectivity should be independant of cellular network, SIM card used, roaming or not. Some WiFi networks may require jumping through some hoops before allowing any Internet traffic — start a web...

I don't believe they're throttling iPad users yet (ones with grandfathered "unlimited" plans). It's amazing that AT&T is able to get away with throttling iPhone users with the same plans,...
View ArticleRe: Earlier notification of approaching data cap.
Yeah, LTE is a main culprit, but video viewing and Teamviewer are probably what's causing the overage. You have 5GB on your "unlimited" plan because of LTE, which really should be 10GB. Then they...

I just switched to family share 10G, I can use personal wifi hotspot on my iPhone to connect my iPad, correct?? Without no additional charges, provided I don't use more than 10g! I'm all most positive...
View ArticleRe: Mobil hotspot
