MDE and UK phones

[dbriggsq]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but we're here now and had some FP+ for yesterday evening. When we're here my phone stays on UK time and I never normally change it. When the time clicked past 12 midnight UK all the info on the MDE for that day disappeared - I had a rough idea of when the FP were but it might be an idea to make a hard copy of them if this could be your situation.

Have you tried changing the time on the phone? Just to see what happens....

I'm over here and my phone automatically updates the time so have not had any issues with the MDE app.

Silly question but if I connect to the free wifi do you avoid the hideously overpriced roaming charges from networks?

Counting down to 14th May!

Yes, you will avoid charges but I turn off my network data because if the wifi disconnects (which it did a lot when we were last there) your phone will automatically connect through your network service and that's where charges are incurred.

If you turn flight mode on it deactivates all radios. You can then turn wifi on and it will only connect to wifi and leave everything else off. If you want calls/texts then simply turn off network/cellular data

Has anyone bought a sim (maybe PAYG) I regularly go over my data allowance in the uk and I'm looking for a network that has reasonable data rates but would also allow me to keep in touch with my family while exploring the parks.

Wifi at the parks and resorts is free. Are you wanting data for when you aren't at the parks so you can connect anytime anywhere?

Yeah, phone calls and data I might get my family to join in so we can call each other while we are there but data is most important for me I've shopped around buying of amazon on EBay is a common answer but the data rates on AT&T have not impressed me t-mobile is reported to have poor coverage and Verizon don't have PAYG
