I bet it will cost u a bomb in the bill.

n make sure u got ur edge , 3g everything off.. and notifications all off.. if not they will charge u as international roaming mate

i think his point is when he calling to US.

in these case, you should check with digi what is the call rate.

yea but just a friendly reminder for him to avoid bill shock bro.. since his using a smartphone

yeah...good tips for those travelling oversea....

i was also warned by my fren that.. using wifi at overseas was not exactly safe also..
he says upon the wifi signal is weak/disconnect.. our line will be connected to the local telco and start charging per kb..

dunno how this actually works but better bkful in doing everything

It's cheap.

Don't worry about bill shock

a week ago I called 14 min+ was charged RM 8 only

turn on airplane mode and use wifi mate..sure it will be safer...

do u mean at overseas, if we are on wifi and when the wifi signal is weak or some how disconnected, it will auto switch to 3G (from telco overseas) and start charging per kb, even if we turn off the "Enable 3G" and "Cellular Data" in iPhone 4?

Can anyone confirm this?

Coz my friend was recently at Europe, and he was using wifi to Facetime with family and friend (he was there for a months), then one day his line was barred and when he check his fill, charges shot up to 700+, and due insufficient credit line, telco bar his line.

i dont think so...if u turn of data and 3g u cant connect to the internet...i think he mean if u turn of 3g/data, when the wifi signal weak or suddenly disconnect the phone will auto connect using 3g/data....

ya, that is what I understand, it shd not connect to 3G if both the setting is off.

So, confirm no way u will be using 3G network if both the setting is off.

thanks

Then wat make ur fren's line barred? Facetime got charges?

Facetime cannot work on 3G as far as I read

Haha..i also knew tat. Just wonder wat the reason charges for the bill so much.

that is why he was shock when it was barred due to bill shot up to 700+, becoz he did not turn on 3G & Celluar Data and using Facetime only, shd be no charges at all.

NOw, he is "fighting" with telco for the bill lor

just need to turn off the cellular data OFF and data roaming OFF will do.

somehow iphone are smart enough to find a loot to connect to internet without our realization.

His line barred cause of the talk time or sms?

coz of total bills amt exceeded his credit line

charge because the user spends on roaming.. exceeded the credit limit provided by the telco

Did he turned off Roaming and Data Service

How come that much charges

as you said he only used facetime and facetime doesn't work on 3G so there is no reason for that much charges
