Not necessarily. When setting it up, I think it asks where you wanted to save contacts to. - JaxSean May 20, 13:55 2
- I mean the number to the phone itself, not saved contacts. -- nm - znufrii May 20, 13:58
- Yup. He needs to check his settings. A new phone with Google Apps will back up our contacts to Gmail too. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 13:56
Yes -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:40
Yep. You should be able to switch phones just by moving your SIM, so long as the phone isn't locked and works on that network. -- nm - Mop May 20, 13:40 14
- actually considering precisely the reverse - znufrii May 20, 13:42 13
  - find out if your phone would even work there. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:46
  - Why not just buy a prepaid phone while there, like a spy? - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:44 11
    - or, just a phone card and use public phones. how much time is he really spending on the phone? -- nm - Andie May 20, 13:49 5
      - don't some places have very few public phones anymore? -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:50 4
        
        i don't mean pay phone, like, the phone in his hotel room, etc. if you are using a card there's no long distance fee. - Andie May 20, 13:52 3
        
        yeah, I would bring a netbook or itouch myself. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:53 2
        
        *tries to erase the second half of that post* -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:53 1
        
        Still, it's good advice for znu -- nm - Roger More May 20, 13:55
    - or we could do that... -- nm - znufrii May 20, 13:45 4
      - if you travel abroad a lot, buy a GSM phone and buy local sim cards when you arrive. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:48 2
        
        that was the initial plan. - znufrii May 20, 13:54 1
        
        I... don't know why you would do this -- nm - Roger More May 20, 13:58
      - Given potentially different radio technologies, might be a good idea. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:46
