Will leaving my phone in airplane mode keep me from getting

[luvvy]

I believe there is a way to stop your phone from roaming and basically it just says you have no signal. My H did this on my phone when I was visiting him in Canada. Or like Sue said, leave your phone at home.

Right, your question... yes, I believe that would work.

Yes

Yep, that's what I do when I leave the country.

Yes, airplane mode will keep you from Roaming. For the cruise, I recommend you take your phone if you have WiFi. A lot of the restaurants in ports have free WiFi while you sit and eat, because they like to cater to cruise passengers. H and I took our iPhones everywhere on our cruise, to use as cameras and to use the free WiFi :-)

Yes. That's what I do when I go to Canada.

On my phone, airplane mode turns off both wifi and the cellular connection, so you wouldn't be able to connect to wifi. I can, however, turn off wifi and 3g/4g separately.

I phone or droid?

On my phone, I went to Mobile Network Settings, and removed the check next to "Data Enabled" and that seemed to do the trick.

Yep. When I travel I just put it on airplane. My friend is in Italy now, doing the same, and she can iMessage us whenever she has Wifi, it's awesome.

Yes, I've done this several times while traveling in Europe and never had extra charges.

Also, if it's an iPhone you don't need to shut off airplane mode to use the wifi. I'm not sure about other kinds of phones.

I have a Samsung Android and I often use wifi on airplane mode at home.

I even have wifi calling enabled so I can still make calls.

If you have an iphone, just turn off "Cellular" and only have "wi-fi" enabled.

I have liked the correct answers. Proceed accordingly.

I hate talking on the phone.

I love data.
