DRIFTER_016 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Don't forget to get a power converter if you plan on charging it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Lots of wifi available in Europe. Search ahead for locations of free wifi in cities that you will be traveling. As was previously mentioned coffee shops can be a good place to find wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Shirley Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 WiFi should be available in some areas of your travel. Another option is to take an unlocked phone and get a sim card with a data plan to have internet anywhere you have a good cell signal. It would need to be either an iphone or something like a Samsung with portable hotspot AP that utilizes a WiFi signal from your phone to connect to your ipad rather than a traditional bluetooth tether. You would need to set up a secure connection or anyone could connect to your phone and use your data. Relatively simple to set up. This would add some cost but also give you a cell phone to use for the month. Have fun on your travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwpres Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Large cities should have readily available wifi. Just be aware that some places may charge a fee. Here is a coverage map for 2G and 3G reception if you are using that: http://www.sensorly.com/map/2G-3G/IT/Italy/Three/gsm_22299 Note that iPhones and iPads can get expensive when travelling and using the GSM network. Safe travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
