How to turn of phone calls but keep data?

Is there a way to turn off all calls and texts but keep the data option on, for streaming music specifically. I need to be able to steam music but without interuption from calls or texts.

If you use iMessage, it will still work over wifi, so you may get messages that way still.  Also, if you have notifications enabled for email and use push or scheduled fetch for email, those will still come in over wifi as well.

  • Turn off phone calls, keep text capability on.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off phone calls, but keep your text messaging capability on? We are travelling internationally and texting is a lot cheaper.

    Texting is a portion of the cellular service, and I am not aware of a way to remove one without the other. While you can turn off texting, if you were to turn off cellular service, then texting would be turned off as well. You can turn off cellular data and roaming, and that would turn the cellular off, but then you could still use iMessage via Wi-fi, however if any of your friends are non-iPhone users, you would not be able to get messages from them.

  • Can you turn off phone calls and texts??

    I am traveling to Buenos Aires from the United States for a minimester.. I called my cellular carrier and they do not have a plan to save me money in regards to phone calls and texts. I have the app What'sApp so I can use a data plan they offered me to keep in contact while I am way, however I am still afraid of racking up charges in texts and phone calls. Is there any possible way to turn off phone calls and text and strictly use the data plan they have given me?
    I have the iPhone 5. Thank you.

    FYI, that won't work. AirPlane disables all radio communications.
    The best way to do this is to divert all calls.
    Go to Settings
    Phone
    call forwarding and switch to O
    Type in your carriers default voicemail number. Because it is the default number for voicemail is an exception in their list you won't be charged for the diversion.
    remember to switch this off when you get back.
    Then go to messages turn off send as SMS and MMS.
    That should avoid most of the charges. Its inevitable that you'll get some but hopefully if you're careful it will be minimal.
    Have you thought of using a local sim while you're there, you're iMessage will still work and your home SIM and account will be inactive so you won't get any unforseen chardges?
    Good luck

  • On a west Texas highway I believe my old 3G iphone could get data with 3 bars. My new 4S could make phone calls but not get data. An att guy told me it's because there aren't enough 4G towers yet. Other explanations?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • I purchased (and have now deleted Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?

    I purchased (and have now deleted) Aperture from my computer and want to use only iPhoto.  (Aperture was simply too much program for me.)  How do I delete Aperture albums but keep the pics in iPhoto?  Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a dumber than dumb question.  I simply want all vestiges of Aperture to go away with losing all my albums.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Aperture added  a second view to your library.
    You now have an additional section in your Source list , called events. But this section lists exactly the same events that you are seeing in the "Events" view. Don't delete anything from there, or you will delete your photos. But you can press the "Hide" button to collaps that section. But someday you may want to use this list. It makes it very easy to move photos between events.

  • HT6162 How to lock unwanted phone calls?

    Need to find out how to block unwanted phone calls.

    Certain call blocking is available in iOS 7, but if the caller is blocking or not displaying a Caller ID it cannot be done. See this support document for details on the call blocking in iOS 7.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5845

  • How to make a phone call

    All I want to do is make a phone call but I do not know how to get to a screen that allows me to make a phone call.  I am not trying to do anything fancy.  I just want to be able to dial a number and click a phone icon, but I am unable to find any way to get to a screen that lets me do it.   I have already bought an unlimited subscription.  It seems impossible to get skype to actually let me make a phone call. There is no screen where the activity being performed is making a phone call. ?????   There is also no instruction about this anywhere in the help menu.  Is this a scam or is it possible to make an actual phone call?

    Have you actually installed Skype program on your computer and are you using this program? http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
    You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.
    Regards,

  • Can you choose to block phone calls but not texts from a number?

    So I have searched all over the place and have not found an answer.  I am sure someone has blocked me from calling them because when I try to call them I recieve this message: "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call."However I am wondering if they can still receieve my texts.  I have sent two and they both show that they have been delivered on my phone and they both also show up on my online bill as having been sent from me and recieved to the number that I am pretty sure has blocked me.  Does Verizon allow someone to block just phone calls but not text messages?  Or if you block a number from calling does that mean texting from that same number is automatically blocked as well (or is it two seperate processes)?  I understand it may look like it has been sent on my end, but I am wondering, since I never got a "message failed" indicator or anything else telling me they never got it, if they were able to receive and read the 2 messages?  We both are Verizon customers by the way.  Thanks!!!

    That person did block you, and no they cannot receive or read your texts.

    That's not a feature of the iPhone. You would have to route your calls through a 3rd party service to do so.
