hi! I was told you can use WhatsApp for free when in Holland and Spain, as long as you are on flight status and WiFi on. Is this true?

Hi Tom,

So if I put a new French SIM card in my old iPhone, of course I lose my old US phone number. But what happens to my emails and my contacts? Do I lose these settings for the emails and need to re-enter those? And do my “contacts” vanish too? Thanks!

I believe the Orange SIM cards (for voice, data, and text) that you mention are generally only valid for 14 days, and then must be topped off, even if you have a lot of unused data… so if you’re traveling for a longer period, beware.

Some European countries require you to show your passport when buying a sim card. Italy also requires that you have a ‘codice fiscale’ (Italian social security number), also a sim card bought elsewhere works in Italy but can not be recharged there.
