Hi Gang!
I have a non-SAF related question that maybe some of you could help with.
Does anybody have recent travel experience to Germany? I am particularly looking
for info on iPhone use over there. Our youngest is leaving in a couple of weeks
for a 22-day stay in Munich and then St. Augustin/Cologne. My cell phone plan
will not cover him there, and it is about $140 for the month to get him service
in Germany. My question is: Can he just use the Wi-Fi connection to communicate
with us via Facebook/Yahoo instead of getting an actual cell and data plan? Is
there a large abundance of free Wi-Fi there as there is in the US? He will not
need to be in constant contact with the US, but we would like to make it easy
for him to get us messages if needed.
The two teachers who are chaperoning the trip are in their upper 60s and have no
info for the kids regarding cell phones. Their advice is for the kids to leave
the phones at home and use payphones. Is that valid?
Thanks for any info, my friends!
