help using my iphone 6 plus in the usa

[Anonymous]

hi can any one give me some help regarding using my iphone 6 plus in new york ?

my hotel has wi-fi which will charge me daily 😞

but if i use it in the hotel i shouldnt get extra charges from o2 for that on my return should i ?

if i want to use free wi fi only while out and about how is it best to do this without getting charges ? ( my phone has data roaming turned off )

i contacted o2 but their only advice really was to put my phone in flight mode , but i can't call or text with it like that !

has any one been to america recently that can offer any advice ?

I m travelling to the USA and want to unlock my phone (Iphone6 on O2) so I can use a AT&T sim in it for a few days anyone got any ideas how I do this. Under contract recently. Thanks

How long have you had the iphone 6? As far as I am aware they are not allowing them to be unlocked just yet?

I'm afraid O2 won't unlock any iPhone 6 until the device plan is paid in full.

Another poster had a similar problem with their iPhone 6 when about to travel abroad. They had two choices Either buy a cheap phone in the States and transfer contacts....or get another cheap one from the UK and do the same....

Paying off your device plan portion of the contract is the only way O2 will unlock an iPhone 6 right now.

@Anonymous I think I'm being really stupid ! I've looked in settings but can't see a link that says mobile ?!

If you don't have your language settings to UK English it will be under "cellular"

Your not stupid @Anonymous its to do with language settings, as @MI5 has said it will be cellular as in American wording. Ironic when you want to use a UK model in America but it's set to American language

To change the language setting to English UK you need to go to settings>general>language & Region>iPhone language & select English(U.K)
