Solved: text or FaceTime whilst in USA

Flossmac · ‎08-03-2018

Hi

just some advice please. My daughter is going to the USA for a holiday. She has an iPhone, what’s the best and cheapest way for us to stay in contact ? She’ll have WiFi at her accommodation so would it be free to FaceTime or WhatsApp rather than text or call ?

thanks

If using wifi facetime and iMessages will be completely free, however, we would advise that she puts her phone into airplane mode and turns on wifi only to prevent any accidental data connection.
Whatsapp can also be used on wifi for free calls and texts also.

To be extra cautious if they charge her for WiFi & give her an allowance if dats then FaceTime will use that WiFi data up quick as this happened when I stayed at a hotel in Australia where you paid for a 1GB allowance of WiFi
