How to turn off cell phone/data on iPhone 4 but use WiFi?

I am travelling to Turks and Caicos and they do have CDMA coverage - but if I leave my cell phone on I will get charged for any incoming text messages or phone calls. Yet I want to be able to use my iPhone 4 for WiFi, which is free in the hotel Is there a way to turn off the cell phone without turning off the WiFi, like Airplane mode does? Its easy on AT&T iPhones since this is a big deal for them as their phones are true world phones - but there are times when you will travel with an iPhone 4 and can get hit with huge roaming fees. For example - $0.50 per text message outgoing!!!
So - is there a way to turn it off but use the WiFi? Thanks!!
Lou

Very easy just turn on airplane mode then turn wifi on after turning airplane mode on! Works for me.

How to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

how to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

Hi jackie,
Not sure what you are wanting to do, but if you do not want to be signed into iCloud on your device, you would do that by deleting the iCloud account that is signed in on that device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and press the delete button. Type in the Apple ID/iCloud password, and then answer each prompt until it is complete.
This is done directly on the device. There is no way to "turn off" iCloud on your device via a computer, unless you wipe the device and remove it from your iCloud account under the Find My iPhone app, but that requires that you wipe the device before you can remove it:

Go into settings - hit sounds - scroll down to text tone - and click none. You can even have it still vibrate but just not make a noise.

How to turn OFF "group by album" in iPhone

IOS6 allowed you to pick an artist and then view "all songs" regardless of album. IOS7 forces me to wade thru the artist's songs sorted by ALBUM? I have to wade thru 300 Beatle tunes -- a non-alphabetized list chopped up by album! Am I missing something here?
AND how do I turn off all that album cover artwork in song lists? Ugh.
Again, this query is about the Music app in IOS7, not the workstation iTunes.

NOTE: my email has been changed to [email protected]
If you hit the reply button here I may not get your reply. Apple allows password changes but does not seem to permit changes in the email address used as ID. (Don't get me started.).

It works doing it with one mailbox at a time, selecting it and then deselecting "View - Organize by Conversation". A real pain and clealry impractical when you have thousands of mailboxes...
It does not work at all deselecting even all items in "Mail - Preferences - Viewing - View Conversations". After that, all the imported mailboxes have the Organize Conversation active.
Anyone knows how to overcome this? Thanks.

How to turn off vibrate for alarm on iphone 5 ios 6?

with the release of the iphone 5, apple changed the dock connection...so i can no longer use it with my ihome alarm clock without an adapter.
since apple has not yet made available the adapter, i've been using alarm in the clock app to wake-up.
i love that i can set the alarm to a song...but i do not like that it vibrates when the alarm goes.
how do i turn off the vibration for the alarm on my iphone 5 running ios 6?
thanks.

Thanks. Seems like this cropped up after the iOS 6 upgrade. Too bad Apple doesn't quality control their software before release. Something like alarm sounds is a pretty big oversight, kind of like maps. Your solution is right on the money even if it is a very roundabout way of getting to the desired result. A simple software fix would be to offer a sounds/vibrate option for ringtones, reminders, and alarms at the "settings" level. Other than oversight, I cant think of an ulterior motive for having it buried in ringtones. Thanks again for the fix!

How to turn off flight mode on my iphone 4s?

my iphone 4s is automatically turn on to flight mode and even i turn it off it does not turn off. can any body help me to change this mode?

Go to your settings and make sure that you have turned off "airplane mode" and I'm not too sure what "restrictions" has to do with turrning off airplane mode because I cannot find a button on restrictions for airplane mode in "enable restrictions." If you are having problems making phone calls or turning on bluetooth or wifi, then check to see if you have turned off the services in your settings section under bluetooth and wifi and then go to go to settings to see if your cellular setting is on. Also make sure that you are not in "do not disturb" that may cause nothing to work.

HT201077 I have turned off photo stream on my iphone but the icloud photos dont disappear

I have turned off photo stream on my 4s 7 ios but the icloud photos are still on my phone taking up data space, HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Community Ed.
They sound like they are in the camera roll or synced from a computer, rather than in photo stream to me.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

You can try the following on your friends phone:
1. Remove the contact card
2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
4. Press +. This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
6. Remove from Recents
7. Try to compose another message
8. If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
10. Repeat and rinse.
11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
Hope this helps

How does turning off "Cell Network Search" affect "Find My iPhone"?

I have turned Cell Network Search off in an effort to reduce battery drain under iOS 7.1. Does this in any way affect Find My iPhone?
I have Location Services on for Find My iPhone. I turn Background App Refresh off when I'm at home and on when I'm out; I believe this doesn't affect Find My iPhone.
I'd be interested in Apple's official description (which I wasn't able to locate) as well as any personal experiences.
Thanks.

You can find out the answer yourself.
Log into icloud.com and use the find my iphone feature and see what it says.
BTW there is no Apple in this forum, just apple device users like you and I.

How to turn off mail auto fetching on iPhone 4

Heya Guys,
I have noticed ever since the iOS 7 update on iPhone 4 the mail options have been really temperamental.
Before this software came about I was able to only have emails fetched when I manually went into my inbox and swiped down. Now every so often I get random mail notifications when I'm not in my mailbox & it's closed.
I have my Email settings as the following:
Fetch New Data: off
Outlook: Manual
iCloud: Manual
Holiday Calendar: Manual
Fetch: Manually
But still I get them randomly every so often. Anyone know how to stop this happening? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
