<h2><strong>Are cell phones region locked?</strong></h2>
<p>Samsung phones running Android 4.3 or later, including the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, feature a <b>region lock</b> that the phone maker applies with the intent of halting grey market imports. &#8230; So what happens when you need to use your phone abroad, and how do you remove Samsung&#8217;s region lock?</p>
<h2><strong>Can I claim Apple warranty in another country?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Apple will honor its international warranty for iPhones purchased outside</b> India, including the US, even if people do not happen to have Apple Care. &#8230; However, it is important to note that the international warranty is limited to factory unlocked iPhone devices and not carrier-locked iPhones.</p>
<h2><strong>What countries is AppleCare available?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  AppleCare Protection Plan Countries/Regions </b> </p>
<ul>
<li>   Afghanistan.  </li>
<li>   Australia.  </li>
<li>   Bhutan.  </li>
<li>   Brunei.  </li>
<li>   Cambodia.  </li>
<li>   East Timor.  </li>
<li>   Hong Kong.  </li>
<li>   Indonesia.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Is AppleCare good value?</strong></h2>
<p>Conclusion. AppleCare+ can be quite costly, but <b>it&#8217;s often worth the spend</b>. A damaged MacBook screen can be far more costly than the $99 fee Apple charges you when covered under AppleCare, so those who have anxiety about breakage should consider it.</p>
<h2><strong>Will an iPhone bought in the US work in Europe?</strong></h2>
<p><b>You can use it anywhere in the world if it is unlocked</b>. Lots of people offer LTE (4G) support but they use different LTE bands. The bands on the phone have to match what your carrier uses. There is no such thing as an international warranty.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use my European iPhone in USA?</strong></h2>
<p><b>If officially unlocked yes</b>. However, if an iPhone 5, it will not support LTE in North America, but everything else will work just fine. I&#8217;ve bought my iphone (iphone 5) directly from Apple so it should be unlocked.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I know if my iPhone will work in Europe?</strong></h2>
<p>Virtually all modern smartphones (iPhone 7 and newer) are <b>compatible with Europe&#8217;s mobile infrastructure</b> and every major US carrier has international data plans — so your smartphone should automatically work once you arrive in Europe because the major US carriers have partnerships with local European carriers.</p>

<h2><strong>Should I leave roaming on my iPhone?</strong></h2>
<p>How to turn off data roaming on your iPhone for international travel, or completely turn off cellular data. It&#8217;s a good idea to turn off data roaming on your iPhone if you want <b>to avoid using data</b> while traveling internationally. This will help you avoid roaming fees your carrier may charge while you&#8217;re abroad.</p>
<h2><strong>Should I turn off cellular data when Travelling internationally?</strong></h2>
<p>If you can&#8217;t get an international plan for your destination, the safest option is to turn off data roaming entirely. In iOS, the toggle switch is under Settings &gt; Cellular. In Android, it&#8217;s <b>under Settings &gt; Wireless &amp; Networks &gt; Data Usage</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use a locked phone in another country?</strong></h2>
<p>In order to use temporary SIM cards abroad, you&#8217;ll need <b>to &#8220;unlock</b>&#8221; your phone first. &#8230; Once a phone is &#8220;unlocked,&#8221; it no longer needs to be used with a specific carrier. That means when you travel abroad, you can buy a SIM card from any company, pop it in, and your phone will work.</p>
<h2><strong>Do all cell phones work internationally?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Every major cell phone company has some sort of international roaming option</b>. These range from excellent to extortionate and are your easiest (though not often best) option. If your carrier is T-Mobile, Sprint, or Google Project Fi, you&#8217;re covered with some kind of unlimited data in most countries around the world.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I prepare my phone for international travel?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  So let&#8217;s get to the options. </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Bring Your Phone, Pay for Roaming. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Bring Your Phone, Pay for a Package. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Bring Your Phone, Use a New SIM Card. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Bring an Old Phone or Rent One. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Look for Hotels That Loan Smartphones. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Bring Your Phone, Use It Only on Wi-Fi. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Stay Safe With a VPN. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   It&#8217;s All About the Apps.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Will my phone work in other countries?</strong></h2>
<p>This especially true for Android devices. <b>Google phones come unlocked already</b>! An unlocked phone is a phone that you can use anywhere in the world and where you are allowed to replace the SIM card as you travel the world without having to deal with your phone company or pay roaming fees.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I set my phone to international roaming?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  How to Activate International Roaming on Android Phones </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Tap “Settings.”  </li>
<li>   Click “Connections.”  </li>
<li>   Select “Mobile networks.”  </li>
<li>   Switch on “Data roaming.”  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Will I be charged to use my phone abroad?</strong></h2>
<p>Since 31 December 2020, <b>the EU rules on roaming charges no longer apply in the UK</b>. This means that, like other destinations, the amount your mobile provider can charge you for using your mobile phone in EU countries, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein is no longer capped.</p>
<h2><strong>Will I get charged for using my phone abroad?</strong></h2>
<p>When you travel outside your home country to another EU country, <b>you don&#8217;t have to pay any additional charges to use your mobile phone</b>. This is known as &#8220;roaming&#8221; or &#8220;roam like at home&#8221;.</p>
<h2><strong>Do I get charged for receiving texts while abroad?</strong></h2>
<p><b>DO NOT send SMS messages or</b> text messages while traveling overseas unless you want to pay out the nose for them. &#8230; You CAN receive messages (non-SMS) over Wi-Fi, for free. You CANNOT send or receive SMS messages (“texts”) via your cell phone carrier when you are in Airplane Mode.</p>
<h2><strong>How can I use my phone in another country?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  Here are your easiest options. </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Put your phone in airplane mode. Only use it (besides features such as the camera) when you can connect to Wi-Fi. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Get an international plan. Every phone carrier offers its customers international plans, which vary. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Buy a prepaid SIM card.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>How do I set my phone for international travel?</strong></h2>
<p>For ANDROID devices: <b>Go to Settings &gt; Connections &gt; Data Usage</b>. Turn Data Saver ON and select only the apps you allow to use data in the background.</p>
<h2><strong>Do you get charged roaming If your phone is on?</strong></h2>
<p>Roaming is generally not included in your plan, and roaming rates may be higher. &#8230; You can accumulate roaming charges <b>simply by leaving your phone turned on while travelling outside your home network</b> – some apps automatically send and receive data even if it doesn&#8217;t look like your phone is doing anything.</p>
<h2><strong>Should data roaming be on or off at home?</strong></h2>
<p>If you really want to be safe, I <b>recommend turning off Cellular Data entirely when you&#8217;re traveling abroad</b>. You&#8217;ll still be able to send photos and check your email when you&#8217;re on Wi-Fi, and you won&#8217;t be surprised by a massive phone bill when you get home.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I know if Im roaming?</strong></h2>
<p>Relax: Your Android phone alerts you whenever it&#8217;s roaming. <b>A Roaming icon appears at the top of the screen, in the status area</b>, whenever you&#8217;re outside your cellular provider&#8217;s signal area. The icon differs from phone to phone, but generally the letter R figures in it somewhere, similar to what&#8217;s shown in the margin.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I turn off cellular data on my Iphone for international travel?</strong></h2>
<p>Turn off Data Roaming or prepare for a trip</p>
<p> Open Settings and tap Cellular, or Cellular Data, or Mobile Data. Turn off Cellular Data, <b>then tap Cellular Data Options</b> and turn off Data Roaming.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I unlock my iPhone to use abroad?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Contact your network provider</b></p>
<p> Only your network provider can unlock your iPhone. Contact your network provider and request an unlock. Your account may need to meet specific requirements for unlocking. After you&#8217;ve submitted the request, it may take a few days for the process to be completed.</p>
<h2><strong>Is my iPhone region locked?</strong></h2>
<p>Apple sells particular versions of its hardware in different countries and regions around the world. For iPhones, it has to do with the cellular frequencies in use by carriers. &#8230; <b>Apple doesn&#8217;t lock devices by country or region to each other</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I unlock my own phone?</strong></h2>
<p>Thanks to the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, it&#8217;s <b>perfectly legal to unlock your phone</b> and switch to a new carrier. Unlocking your phone is legal, but some restrictions, as they say, may apply.</p>
