Global Escapade phone - can I turn off data?

I am traveling to Europe. I called Verizon Global Services and they sent me this global flip-phone called the Escapade as a loaner.
Fine with me, but one question. Can I turn off the data feature? It's going to cost loads of money (something like $20 per MB!) if I use data services.
It seems if I hit the top button in the D-pad, it launched some sort of Web browser. This is not good -- it seems like it's sending data merely at the touch of a button. And it's really easy to accidentally hit that button.
I don't need this or watnt this. Seems like a sneaky way for Verizon to make a quick buck off of me.
Is there a way to completely disable data capability on the Escapade? I know it can be done on my Droid.

Just put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on. Data roaming should be off by default: Settings>General>Network...

  • Can you turn off data but not phone

    How do you turn off the data on your phone (so you won't be charged for extra usage) but not the texting and phone?

    Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Data>Off. You can still SMS, but no MMS. iMessage will work while connected to WiFi.

  • Can't turn off data roaming for my Samsung mini

    I am traveling in Germany and when I arrived I was able to select no data roaming for my trip, but now it has reactivated and I can't turn it off. Any ideas?

        I sure hope that this is not impacting your trip while in Germany! There is the option to turn of Mobile Data altogether: Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Mobile Data (OFF) if the phone will not allow you to "Deny data roaming access". Once you have landed in the United States, you will want to turn Mobile Data ON. Keep us updated!

  • How can I turn off data roaming while overseas?

    I will be traveling and I don't want to incur any (very expensive) data roaming charges. How do I disable that function on my iPhone? Also, is it true you have to call your service provider (like AT&T) to turn off texting?

  • My screen is locked on my 4S and I can not turn off phone

    My screen is locked on my 4S I PHone. I can not turn off the phone and everytime I touch the screen Siri reports the action.

    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Can you turn off iCloud Drive without losing data?

    I enabled iCloud drive but then discovered through some articles that one should not enable iCloud Drive until Yosemite comes out and all of one's devices are running iOS8 and Yosemite on their computes.  Since enabling iCloud Drive I am missing Photostream and Pages docs that I had on my phone and god knows what else. When I went to try and turn off iCloud Drive (so I can then wait until Yosemite comes out before I re-enable iCloud Drive), I get the following message:
    "Are you sure you want to turn off iCloud Drive? Some changes have not been uploaded to iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Drive, these changes will be lost." Immediately below that message is a red message that says "Delete from iPhone."
    What exactly would be deleted from my phone if I turn off iCloud Drive?  What changes does the message refer to?  Why can't I just return my phone from iCloud Drive to the regular Cloud so I can access my Photostream and my Pages data?  And why on earth did Apple not alert us to the issues we would face with iOS8 if we install BEFORE Yosemite comes out?  This is so frustrating!
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way.  Still, what a pain. 
    When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation.  So frustrating...

  • Can I turn off cellular data but still text?

    I just got billed for a $113 phone bill, all because of data. I don't travel, so it isn't roaming. Can I turn off cellular data but still text? I have free texting (plan) so I want to be able to text without wifi, but whenever I go onto games or anything without wifi, it says "turn on cellular data" or something similar, with two options (Okay, and Settings) I tap okay and exit the game, but it still charges me and it turns cellular on for the game. I don't want to continue getting charged for cellular games and such, but I still want texting. Is there anyway to get that?

    Next time click Settings. Clicking OK is telling the message that you want to "turn on Cellular Data".
    And again, did you look in Settings>Cellular under the "Use Cellular Data" section to see if your games show up in that list?

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • I have lost my iphone and did not have Find me set up. Is there any way that Apple or anyone can track the last location of my phone before it turned off?

    I have lost my Iphone last week. I know this has been a while, but I am desperate. I have talked to At&t and there is no way they could track my phone with it turned off. So I was wondering if there's any way that we can check the last location of the phone before it died? And also, if there's any way we can ping the phone in case it was stolen and was turned on? I hope to read ur responses soon. Thank you.

    If you did not setup Find My Phone, I'm afraid yo're out of luck. There is no practical way to track your phone.

  • My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

    My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

    I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
    Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
    Best of luck.

    How can I turn off the beep my incoming callers hear when my phone is busy?

        I appreciate your concern! This feature is unable to be removed. The only way an incoming caller would not hear this particular beep is if a ringback tone is active on the line.
