Traveling overseas for a holiday will put anyone in a good mode, but trying to get your phone to operate in another country can often leave you furious, and annoy you for your entire holiday.

For iPhone users, setting up your handset for overseas use is not as difficult as many may believe.

Firstly, you will need to switch your phone to International settings and change the language for iPhone, turn keyboards for different languages on or off, and set the date, time, and telephone number formats for the region you are in.

Here are some basic ways to achieve this:

How to set the language for iPhone:

Choose General > International > Language, choose the language you want to use, then tap Done.

How to set the Voice Control language for iPhone:

Choose General > International > Voice Control, then choose the language you want to use (iPhone 3GS only).

How to turn international keyboards on or off:

Choose General > International > Keyboards, and turn on the keyboards you want.

If more than one keyboard is turned on, tap International keyboard icon to switch keyboards when you’re typing. When you tap the symbol, the name of the newly active keyboard appears briefly. See International Keyboards.

How to set date, time, and telephone number formats:

Choose General > International > Region Format, and choose your region.

Hopefully by following these tips your frustration will now be over and you can carry on with your holiday with the luxury of being able to use your iPhone.
