So I am going on a cruise in two days and obviously am bringing my phone. I was hoping I could turn everything but wifi off as to avoid roaming charges. I know i can turn data off but am not sure how to turn off the actual phone itself. Any suggestions?

Oh, I didn't realize it was that simple. For some reason I thought that if the phone is looking for a signal in roaming, since it's out of country, that it would charge me. Thank you!

what about airplane mode? disables the radio (including calls, texts, etc) but still allows wifi and all other use of the mode. most custom roms can enable it by holding the power button and selecting it, otherwise find it under network settings.

I'm in the Dominican Republic now. Phone is in airplane mode and I just turn on wifi and other radios/sensors as needed.

Also check out grooveip + Google voice for free calls.
