    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    I definitely concur here - if it can be afforded! I usually buy a new but pick more affordable models of a smart phone. I have found that with all of them, I still prefer a camera for all trips because the pictures are just better than any phone or iPad (and iPads I usually have the latest of)...

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    ...to unlock a phone these days than it used to be, at least when dealing with ATT with a phone I purchased directly from the Apple Store. And in any case, part of the point of the newer dual SIM phones is to be able to add another line (even if it's from an overseas provider) while you're...

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    ...was startling. Better camera(s), much longer battery life, more durable casing and screen, everything faster and sharper – and the dual SIM feature may come in handy should I should choose to/learn how to use it while traveling. For something I use every day – and will use to photograph my...

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    ...were quite easy to follow (I didn't have a QR code) - but I still ended up having to call ATT to finish the process. I looked up how to do a dual SIM card - the youtube instructions make it SEEM simple - but I almost always end up calling ATT when not just moving a SIM from one phone to...

    Getting a glass screen protector may also help prevent your screen getting worse

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    Hi Terri: sorry to hear about your mishap with your toe. As for the phone, many has given the opinion of replacing the screen; there are many places at the malls that performs such service and many times, much cheaper than a new phone. If that is a better option for you, go for it. Then when...

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    I have had a cracked screen at least once on every smartphone I have ever had. It does become a problem with all of them after a period of time. Depending on where the damage is will have a bearing on how well you can use your phone. Go to the Rogue Valley Mall and get a new screen.

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    At four years old, the device is no longer exactly new. It would be too dangerous for me. Now that it still works, I'm sure you can save all your data, apps and settings. Replacing the display of today's devices is not something that can be done easily. I would rather buy a new, possibly...

    Is it crazy for me to walk the camino Frances / Norte without a smartphone?

    whilst one can be out of reception easily -- that doesn't knock out all the benefits of a smart phone though - not at all - some thoughts 1. you have a gps - it will work offline 2. there's great offline maps and mapping apps 3. there's apps like .what3words' - which work offline 4. you might...

    Is it crazy for me to walk the camino Frances / Norte without a smartphone?

    ...don't NEED any kind of phone. If you want one, then take one. Not two. I've done Camino Santiago without, and with. If your phone will take dual SIM, then that's useful. I once sailed with a friend from La Rochelle to Brazil. You know what? No cell phone reception at all. Sometimes there...

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    In our family we've replaced cracked or broken screens on iPhones a few times. Much cheaper than buying a new phone, done in a couple of hours at the local "fix-it" booth (not Apple - far too expensive) in the local shopping centre, and we've never had a problem.

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    If I wasn't ready to buy a new phone right now, getting the screen fixed is usually cheap and fast. We've had to do that twice now with our grandsons phone - some kids are rough on phones.

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    ...- I don't want to have to shop for a new phone then. Part of me sees it as an opportunity to replace my 4 year old phone with one that has dual sim capability and other features, but of course I'd rather not spend the money, because my current phone works perfectly well. I'm looking for...

    SIM card or Monthly International Plan with Verizon

    ...at the Madrid airport for the times that I need data and to call within Spain. It was really easy on my last Camino, as my iPhone 12 has dual sim. I had my US number converted to an e-sim and use the slot for my Orange card. You then have the ability to choose which number you are using. I...

    SIM card or Monthly International Plan with Verizon

    @Rick of Rick and Peg said is correct. Newer smartphones have dual physical SIMs - or for iPhones: physical SIM and eSIM. Some carriers offer the eSIM to avoid having to pull out your SIM. So you can have both your US carrier's phone# and a second SIM with your European #: This is what is...

    Using a Cell Phone in Portugal: Tips for Traveling Canadians

    There are ways to get Spanish SIM cards before you leave so I expect you can get a QR code for your eSIM too. But really what you want to do is go to a genius bar or to a store for your network and have them transfer the SIM for your US number to the phone's eSIM. It is really easy to do. Take...

    Using a Cell Phone in Portugal: Tips for Traveling Canadians

    Thanks for posting the video. My iphone does have dual SIM support. The QR code - is that something that I would get in Spain (Orange/Vodafone)? Is it considered an eSIM? Can I set it up with data only and then use my existing phone number for calls and texts when I have wifi (WhatsApp)? I'll be...

    Using a Spanish SIM card

    @StumpyDave in addition to what @C clearly and @trecile have advised, you will have to deal with any two-factor identification on services that you use with your current number, and change these to using an email or identification questions and not your US based mobile number. It might be...

    How to use 2-factor ID for banking while traveling with a foreign SIM card

    URGENT ADVICE please re Travel Money Card. I'm leaving Australia in 2 weeks time to walk Camino Frances. I'm visiting some peregrinos (I met in 2017) in Germany first. I plan to use a Travel Dedit card in Euros for atm cash withdrawals for albergues & little food buys, & swipe/tap transactions...
