[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1830023, member: 396914"] What I have seen is that any event, at least in Calendar, that you have set for a time in a different time zone shows in the [I]current[/I] time zone as the time [I]in the current zone.[/I] Then, when you are in the time zone of the event, it shows at the time in the event timezone. So, for example, if I schedule a flight from the Eastern Time Zone overnight to London, taking off at 6:00 PM and landing at 6:30 AM in London the following day, it shows on my Calendar as an event from 6:00 PM to 1:30 AM while I am in the Eastern Time zone, and as 11:00 PM to 6:30 AM when I am in the UK time zone. That makes sense if you are holding a meeting by teleconference, so whatever time zone you are in, it shows when [I]in that time zone[/I] you need to be in the conference. In my flight booking, for example, the booking itself clearly shows a 6:00 PM departure and a 6:30 AM arrival in the details of the flight event on my iPhone. When I arrive in London and the iPhone reconnects and sets the correct time, the event will shift to a takeoff at 11:PM and arrival at 6:30 AM. So the iPhone knows the time and timezone and will adjust times accordingly. I suspect it will do that with phone records as well. And if any kind of Daylight or Summer time is involved, the iPhone knows about them, too, and adjusts, so that might be adding to the confusion. [/QUOTE]
