I have already booked my flight from Italy to the Netherlands through Ryanair. I'm staying in Italy legally and have a carta di soggiorno. However, after booking my flight, my wallet was stolen, which contains all my IDs except my passport. I filed a police report, and I'm trying to get a new residence card. However, I need to go to the Netherlands ASAP. Will Ryanair accept the police report and receipt of getting a new residence card from the post office?  UPDATE (17.07.2014)  Thanks for helping me out. BTW it's OK now. I went to our local CISL here in Florence, Italy, where they process your envelope for renewing your permesso di soggornio or carta di soggiorno (residence permit for foreigners) to be submitted to the post office. That's where you pay and get your postal receipt, and they make an appointment for you at the questura. Anyway, long story short, they processed a application for IMPROVISED residence permit which is good for 30 days to travel within the Schengen area, so all I have to do is go to the questura, bring my travel booking, the police report and copy of my passport. Now I can travel, and it's my first time to fly with Ryanair because I always use Transavia to go to Holland. =) Hope this helps for future persons who will have the same issue with lost or stolen residence permits...Just wish me luck that the questura will process my improvised residence permit immediately.

I have been researching this for some time now, but can't seem to find a definite answer to my worries.   In May '15 I booked a ticket through a travel agent for the trip: Rio de Janeiro-->Madrid, Madrid-->Copenhagen (in February '16). Both flights are with IBERIA/IBERIA EXPRESS. In September '15 I got an email from IBERIA that the departure of my connecting flight from Madrid to Copenhagen had been changed to the next day, which gives me a layover time of about 25 hours in Madrid.   What are my rights? Can I make them pay a hotel, can I get a refund, can I make them pay another connecting flight?

My daughter is going to spend the next school year (August 2011 to June 2012) in Memphis, TN as an exchange student from Switzerland. She'd very much like to use her iPhone during her stay in the United States.  What are her options for getting prepaid talk, text and data services without also having to buy a new phone? I realize that she'll be limited to AT&amp;T and T-Mobile because of the GSM network.  As far as I've read, T-Mobile SIM cards only work on T-Mobile branded phones, so is AT&amp;T her only option there?

I'm travelling to country X. I want to install an application which isn't available in my country, but is available in country X; but I prefer to download and install it in advance, while the data connection is still cheap.  Unfortunately, the Play Stores does not allow me to install this app. Is there any way to circumvent this limitation?

I'm traveling from Europe (Belgium) to USA soon. While on a road trip from New Orleans to Miami, I'd like to access the internet without paying exorbitant amounts of money on roaming fees. I was thinking about getting a pre-paid SIM card from an American provider to lower the costs.  It seems hard to order a pre-paid SIM from an American provider without an address in the USA. What are my options?

I'm about to travel from the USA to Europe. I have a GSM phone and I use T-Mobile's Simple Choice plan. This plan is . So far all I have is T-Mobile's marketing spin on it, and of course they tell me that everything is fantastic. I'm wondering how well this works in practice.  I mainly want to use the phone for data access, but I'm also interested in how well texting and calls to/from home will work out.  Has anyone here tried taking a phone with this plan from the USA to Europe? How did it go?  Update: In response to a question in the comments, I'm interested in answers relating to the UK and France. As for partner networks, I don't know, and that's part of the problem. I don't know which network(s) T-Mobile's Simple Choice plan works with. Some Googling suggests that it's  in the UK and that in France it might be , but I'm by no means certain about either of those.

I recently changed to a newer phone and currently using my old android phone as a sort of "ipod". However, it always shows the message that there is no sim card. I know this is just an annoyance but is there anyway to disable it? I am rooted running a custom sense 4 rom on ICS. Is there anything I could flash to remove this message? Or disable the cellular radio completely?   Screenshot (click for larger variant)

I am thinking about going to the US and to reduce the amount of cash I carry, I plan to use a prepaid credit card for as many transactions as possible (i.e. gas, store purchases, etc.)  I have a few questions on this:   Is there anyway I can get a US prepaid debit card outside the US (preferably online)?  Are they issued by US banks, or Visa/Mastercard companies, or who issues them?  Is there anywhere online where I can register those cards with a US billing address, so that I can print statements if I want to? Is it possible to obtain a virtual prepaid card (i.e. I receive just 16 digits card number and a CVV)? Would that be usable on brick-and-mortar store purchases?

On 15 May, I entered Chile; my visa was for 3 months. On 10 July, I booked a ticket to go to New Zealand. I bought the ticket from LATAM Airlines for $1700 (USD).  But they didn’t let me board the flight to go to New Zealand and also they didn’t refund my money. Now, it is three months that I have been trying to get back my money, but they don’t want to give it to me unfortunately.  Now I want to leave Chile and go back to Amsterdam, my home. What should I do ?

So far, I didn't have the chance to use either of these services. Before starting, I would like to hear your opinions. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Why should I choose one over the other? I am mainly interested in the technical side, but I would also love to hear comments also regarding the plans and prices.

In the past I have found two companies that offered one sim card with multiple (international) numbers attached to it. The first one, of which I forgot the name, offered one sim card with the possibility to add different european numbers to it. They don't longer exist, hopefully because they were ahead of their time.   I recently learned of the existence of a  that offers a so called "two country sim". It gives both a Surinamese and a Dutch mobile telephone number. You are always available through both numbers. Both in the Netherlands and in Suriname you won't have roaming costs. The company aims at the large Surinamese community in the Netherlands.   I do like this concept. Since I travel frequently I would really like to have such a sim card. Since telesur proves that the technology works, there should be others. Does anyone know of similar companies, preferably combining Belgian, Dutch, German, French and UK numbers?

I'm thinking of going to  (last weekend in January) and my cheapest plane connection is by the Charleroi airport. It seems that I would pay just about the price of plane tickets again for the transportation to city center. Assuming that I arrive on Friday on 21:00, is there a way I could reach Midi for cheaper than 14 EUR? Riding a bicycle, renting a car or walking doesn't sound like an option to me.

I have been looking to book a bundle (hotel and flight) with Expedia to Puerto Vallarta MX. When I get to the booking section it does not ask for my passport number. Do they ask for my passport after I book? Or later when the date gets near? My passport is currently being renewed and I want to book my hotel and flight before they sell out but I am afraid it'll ask me for my passport number. Can anyone inform me about this situation?

Suppose I take my phone on roaming from one country (say Australia) to another (say Belgium).  How do these plans typically work? Will somebody else in Belgium have to pay international rates to call me, given that they would have to call me using the international prefix? Will I have to pay a roaming fee to receive the call?
