Going on holiday and need help

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am going on holiday to Barbados next week and want to take my iphone. The apartment I am staying in has free wifi internet so I need to change my settings so that I do not access my pay monthly (or any paid) internet. I would appreciate help with what to do and what to switch off while out of the country. I am afraid I will end up with big charges or something.

and the best advice ever is to hide me in your suitcase. 

Safe travels.

Also check what insurance you have for lost or stolen !

Also have a plan if action if the worst happens such as contact details for 02 etc etc to stop unauthorised usage.

Have a good holiday and stay in the tourist areas.

The locals are always after toiletries so it might pay to take a few extra !

I'm probably thick, but how do I turn voicemail off?

I detest voicemail and refuse to have to pay to listen to a message that a caller has already paid to leave and the networks made money on.

Rant over !
