iPhone question
So I am currently using a iPhone 4s out of country, and had a question regarding data. I have the cellular data set to "off" but i was using google maps yesterday wih wifi and realized that it was still tracking my location thru location services. Does this use data if the cellular data isnt on? Not sure how the gps stuff works.
Thanks in advance,

I think you should be fine, should be just using GPS. Isn't that sort of what turning cellular data off is all about?
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

So using gps while roaming won't incur extra fees?

You shouldn't incur any charges, but they also sell prepaid SIMs which are super cheap. Throw one in so you don't get any surprises.

You should be fine. I used mine the same way in Ireland a couple of weeks ago - data off/locations on, on WiFi - and wasn't charged a cent.

As long as the phone is unlocked, right? Is that something you can do while you're in, say, Vietnam, or need to do before you travel? Originally Posted by systemoverblow'd

Depends on the company you get it from Tye. Many work, others do not. Traveling Americans do this often so I would assume any cell shop in Vietnam could get you set up with something that would work.

Try double clicking the home button. Once the new menu appears, scroll to the left and see if your screen lock is enabled. Originally Posted by thin cover

When traveling with my iphone I usually put it in airplane mode, a $700 bill for 3 days in india was a surprise.
