I am looking for a (local) pre-paid data SIM card for my trip to Italy. What matters the most is a price for GB of data only, I don't really need voice calls. Coverage in the Alps should be decent too. I guess the local SIM still gives me the best value in comparison to EU-regulated data roaming charges.

I've checked the webpages of some their providers, but franly, just like in the case of those in my own language, I literally cannot find my way around them. So if you wouldn't mind sharing a word of two or advice.  I'm looking for a good solution for mobile internet surfing in northern Italy, that can be connected to a laptop (you know, that usb stick with a SIM card inside kind of thing). 15 Gb or so at some decent speed. Can you perhaps give a recommendation or two of what to get?    Edit: Just to define what I'm looking for exactly. A data plan of 15 Gb with an internet key (usb stick into which a SMS card goes) that you plug into a laptop. Preferably non-contractual, so I can cancel when I leave. I am not interested in surfing on my mobile phone since due to size I still prefer the smaller Nokia-like models for calls (smaller to carry) - no internet on them.

I planned a trip to Europe this December and booked the flights quite in advance. A few days ago they sent an email informing me that a flight has been cancelled and they offered a different flight or refund of the booking amount. However there are several other booked flights (with different carriers) and hotel bookings which would suffer because of this change.  Here's my itinerary:-   Delhi (DEL) to Milan (MXP), Air Italy, dep. Sunday, 6am India time Milan (MXP) to Rome (FCO), Air Italy, dep. Sunday 12.45pm Italy time Rome (CIA) to Athens (ATH), Ryanair, dep. Monday, 10am Italy time   Return:   Athens (ATH) to Rome(CIA), Ryanair, Thursday Rome (FCO) to Milan (MXP), Air Italy, dep Friday, 9.40am Italy time Milan (MXP) to Delhi (DEL), Air Italy, dep Friday, 4pm Italy time Delhi (DEL) to Hyderabad (HYD), Indigo, dep Sunday   Of course the onward and return journey is separated by a few weeks. Not mentioning the dates due to privacy reasons.  They informed about two cancellations: Delhi to Milan (onward - Sunday) and  Milan to Delhi (return Friday)  However they offer these flights on different days which totally break my itinerary which might cause me missing the connections of good amount of money to get other flights rescheduled.   I tried to communicate with them but   Sent messages on whatsapp but I'm not receiving response after one reply Sent a couple of email on separate days but didn't get a reply Couldn't get connected on Phone.   It is causing a lot of stress.   What can I do about it?  I'd like to know what are my rights regarding how airlines is bound to (1) attend to customer communications, (2) offer multiple alternatives which do not break the itinerary, and (3) offer additional compensation for additional costs involved (hotels, other flights re-schdeuled).

Where would I ask a question pertaining to an ordinary phone? Or just cell phones in general? I saw Windows Phone while browsing the SE database, nothing else really popped out at me. Google didn't bring up anything either. Is that just too small a community to cover with SE?

I'm traveling next week to Montreal, Canada for 2 weeks and then for another week to New York. I want to buy a SIM card for my smartphone in Montreal that will also work in New York.  The main purpose of the phone will be calls (not a lot) and maybe some text messages, no Internet needed. Of course I'm looking to buy the sim card wherever it is cheaper. Could you tell me which cell phone provider in Canada is the best solution for me?

At the current rate by which technology is improving, I believe that mobile photography is not far behind their DSLR counterparts, generally speaking. However, for amateurs like me, it is quite impossible to judge or even know properly how to buy a decent smartphone within $500 (US). And almost every phone these days have OIS, Laser Focus, PDAF, etc. as the bare minimum features. However, different media channels rate the phones (-- speaking from the point of view of photography only) differently. And often, it is hard to detect which source is credible enough if there is a huge gap between the citations therein, given the aforementioned budget limit.   A setback, in this case, is also because of the DxOMark scores for phones, and it is obvious that the phones with extremely good scores are not economically feasible for people with the aforementioned limit. So, my question is how can a person who is new to photography, is really enthusiastic about it, and wants to use his/her smartphone for that learn or research from credible sources given the rate at which technology is changing in our society so that the relevancy of this question remains valid even in near future.    EDIT:   Many people here may have a misunderstanding that I do not know about the basic differences between DSLRs and smartphone cameras. I did know the basic differences. Anyway, this is not their fault, but because of the limited information I put forth in my question as well as the way how I put it. I somewhat do know more now thanks to the inputs I have received thus far as well as  these , and their . To be short, I am saving money for an extended trip after few months and also need a new phone. So, if the details don't matter much now, there's that.

I came to know about , it's a website that allow search for flights by country. I mean you just enter from like "Germany" and to like "Belgium" and you get best offers from all airports between the two countries. That is great. And I was able to arrange a good-price trip to Brussels.   Now I want to arrange another trip to Turkey, but Whichbudget is not helping much this time. And I can't find any other websites that allow "search by country".   Update: Not duplicate to  as his question is broad to the extent of a state. But my question is broad to the extent of a whole country + less price + "Any Time". If anyone checks , he'll understand what I'm saying. Especially that whichbudget allows "Any Time" option, not just +/-3 days.  Does anyone know more similar websites?

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've travelled a lot.  Living in New Zealand or the UK means anywhere is likely a flight, but I've always flown economy.  Twice between LA and Auckland I managed to get the exit row after talking nicely to the check-in girl, but apart from that, nothing.  I've spoken to ticket agents, tried 'check in chicken' (where you wait until the last minute before checking in, hoping there's an overbooking of economy) but have never managed to get an upgrade, while others I know seemingly get them quite often.  What strategy have you used or do you suggest to achieve this?  My next flight is from Melbourne to Tokyo, and I plan on trying all of these ;)  (Related questions on  and  upgrades)

I am traveling through Zurich and have a phone without any roaming there; I'm planning on picking up a SIM once I get to my final destination. Last time I was there, I couldn't access the airport wifi because it required a code sent via SMS.    In the event I need to contact someone or coordinate about flight delays, is there some alternate way to get wifi access?

I'm a non-EU citizen, and I'm studying in Italy.  I traveled to Hungary last week with Ryanair from Italy. I showed them my passport, residence permit and Italian identity card. Everything was OK. But after a week when I wanted to come back to Italy I found that I lost my residence permit. But still I have the passport and identity card (paper).  Now I'm afraid they don't let me get back to Italy at the Hungarian airport. What should I do now?  I have a picture from my residence permit (Permesso di soggiorno).     UPDATE: Fortunately, I found my card in the house, YaaaaY.

I am an Indian citizen studying in Italy on an Italian visa that expires 19 November, 2015. I have permesso di soggiorno. I want to visit the United Kingdom for my vacations for a week during March. I know the procedures already, however I am a little bit confused about the amount that I must show as a proof of support with my bank statements. I will stay for a week with my friends who are also students in Italy and will be in London for 5 days. What would be the amount in Euros that I need to show for my visit to UK?

I will travel from USA to London in Aug. I want to buy an iPad in USA which will work with a data sim card, which I assume to be available in London.  Questions:    Which type of iPad has the highest probability of working with a data sim card bought in London? Also, once I land in London with my iPad, what would be an optimal type of data sim card?   I hope to find people who are walking around in London now with a data sim card in their iPad. I'd like to find out how happy they are with the service and any pitfalls which might await me.  I have studied ; it told me to contact my carrier, so I called T-Mobile USA and found them not to be knowledgeable. I spent lots of time on their site and talking to phone support. Also I tried contacting T-Mobile UK via their website and gave up after it seemed they want me to have a UK phone to set up an account.

In a few weeks I expect to be flying into Singapore to start a long overland trip. But my current laptop is dying and I like to have one on my travels.  So I'm pretty sure computers and electronics will be much cheaper in Singapore than here at home in Australia.  What I am wondering though is whether Singapore has an area dedicated to hi-tech... something similar to  in Tokyo where all kinds of nerdy gadgets new and used can be found.

I will be traveling the world over the next 1.5 years: mostly Europe, but some Middle East, South America, Africa and Asia.  I am looking to switch to a US based bank that can provide me with a debit card that has:   No international ATM fees/reimbursement Mobile check deposit No monthly fee Pin &amp; chip? I am seeing references of this, unsure of what it is, but seems important?

Are there any free, publicly available datasets for Singapore?   I've examined , ,  and the  datasets, but I'm interested in vector data of higher resolution and or any type of census information.

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?

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?
