Hi Andrew and Jonathan,

 

Actually, Jonathan, I believe if you have "Setting Time Zone" set to on in
Settings, Privacy, Location Services, System Services, then your iPhone's
time will be set according to the time zone you are in whether you have
local service or not.

 

I am pretty sure of that because when I went to Thailand recently I first
flew from Vancouver to Beijing, China. As soon as I arrived and turned off
Airplane Mode, the time set itself even though I still had my Canadian SIM
in the phone and it said "No Service". When I then flew to Bangkok the next
day once again the time set itself correctly when I arrived in Bangkok even
before I bought and put in the Thai SIM card.

 

I usually turn all the system services off because I found that in iOS 5
having especially the "Setting Time Zone" set to on, really seemed to use up
a lot of battery. Even now when I am looking at it, it says "Requested your
location within the last 24 hours". I think if this is set to On it
constantly checks your location, probably using the GPS.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi Andrew, what happens time-wise when you turn your phone on depends on the
network you are using. Many networks have a service that sets the time for
you when you connect, but not all. So you may or may not find the time is
set right. If you don't have a local sim in your phone, which would allow
you to use your phone a lot more effectively, then you can manually select a
network to rome on and hopefully find one that pushes the time for you.

Hi all,
I just had a few more questions relating to overseas travel.
A friend of mine suggested just taking my iphone 4 and leaving the 5 behind
and just downloading the apps I would use while overseas. I must confess I
had forgotten about the fact that the you can have your account on multiple
devices at the same time. Lol silly me. Anyway, I was just wondering, If I
have apps that download audio content, such as audible and downcast, Are the
audio files synced when I automatically update to ICloud and if so, could I
turn on my iphone 4 and download these apps and will my books and podcasts
previously downloaded be automatically redownloaded, or will I have to
redownload them onto the 4?
Also, I have my clock set to automatically update time, so I'm assuming when
I turn on my phone in England, the local time is automatically updated and I
can view it on the phone?
Thanks heaps for any info you can give me,
Hope you all have a great day,
Andrew
