Is there any way to shut off roaming but still use wifi?

I am going on vacation to the States this week and I would still like to use my iPhone without getting charged lots for roaming. I'm only going to be using my phone for games and music, not calling or texting. I'd also like to check my emails every now and then, so is it possible to hook up to wifi, but not get charged for roaming?

WiFi has nothing to do with cell service - voice or data.  There are no roaming charges.
To disable cell voice/data completely and enable WiFi:
1. Settings > Airplane Mode > ON
2. Settings > WiFi > ON

  • Is there any way to turn off the "Determining Gapless Playback"

    Every time I open Itunes the "Determining Gapless Playback routines starts. I always let this finish and after a while it appears to stop and I only have the Apple logo at the top of Itunes. However, if I close Itunes and restart it the "deteriminig Gapless Playback" routine starts all over again. Isn't there any way to turn off this annoying new feature....

    You could try a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart.  If that doesn't get rid of the volume control box on your screen, it's time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store, and they can send your iPad off for service.

    Simply go into Settings, General, Mobile Data, Turn this off and make sure Data Roaming is also switched off! You can have wifi on and this will no charge your account for the data you use via Wi-Fi!

  • Any way to shut off auto publish in gallery?

    Lots of issues with Iphoto 09 but, I working through them
    One issue is my use of Gallery which was pretty much ok in 08
    Now, my photos are placed on the internet in an order other then what I want. I try to select them in the order I want but, they are shuffled when they go into the gallery. Only way to avoid it is to put them in one at a time but,
    the problem is that when you drag a photo to the existing gallery, it almost immediately starts to auto-publish. If I try to do anything to the gallery, add a photo, adjust the photo order, re-name a photo etc. none of the changes get published correctly.
    Is there any way to shut down the "auto-publish" function so that I can add photos, do the editing, rename, change the order, etc. and then when I am done and satisfied click to publish.
    I tried to turn off airport so that it couldn't publish but, I get some kind of goofy error message that says publish failed due to an error in my mobile me log in information? The message is delivered with virtually every change I make, which is fun, and then when I turned airport back on, it apparently lost my faces so, it has been re-cranking on that for the past 24 hours.
    I'm frankly very unhappy with this iphoto update in general but, if I could just handle galleries in an intelligent way, I'd suffer through most of the rest. Just let me make a bunch of changes and then publish when I want to.
    Any help, appreciated.

    I already sent a suggestion but, was hoping to find out it was there.
    When you read their material on gallery it acts like you have to click on the icon to the right of the gallery to start the publishing but, it has pretty much always been automatic for me?
    I do use a "prep" folder to do all the work but, with 09, the pictures are put on the internet out of the order I set? There is no apparent rational reason for it, just does it wrong.
    thanks

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?

    Is there a way to shut off the cellular radio ?
    I can go to “settings” and switch off cellular data.  However I still see the signal strength meter and my iPhone will ring if called.
    I thought there was a way to shut off the cellular radio in an iPhone and keep the Wi-Fi turned on.

    When you turn Airplane mode on, it does turn all the radios off. You can, however, turn the WiFi and bluetooth back on.
    Enjoy.

  • Is there any way to turn off keypad sounds when making a phone call?

    I am a new user to iphone....is there any way to turn off sounds of keypad when making a manual phone call of someone not in address book?
    Thanks

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

  • Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity?

    Ios7 - is there a way to shut off or clear the new photo stream activity?  I am not asking how to shut off photo streams, just would like to clear or shut off the new 'social' activity portion of photo stream

    Thank you, but that is not it, and I am talking about the iCloud photo streams.  I know how to modify who can see or post to a shared stream, that's extremely easy. 
    What is an issue is the new 'social' style activity that summarizes all of the shared streams.  It now posts/summarizes them in an activity thread in 'streams', called "Activity"
    I would like to shut that off or be able to clear that view.  While I enjoy the occasionally funny pics I receive from old college friends in shared streams, I don't want that to show up in a 'cover photo' when I go to pull up pics in front of someone.

  • HT1807 Is there any way to check your roaming minutes while traveling internationally?

    Is there any way to check your roaming minutes while traveling internationally?

    Hi Icebreaker
    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I successfully upgraded the Firmware to the latest available on the site - I don't have the camera here to confirm the vesion number but the upgraded Firmware was reported in the setup application.
    WPA is AES, which is all that the Thomson router seems to support and I did notice that the camera was looking for TKIP. However, I have tried with WEP and no security to test, with no luck either. I am testing with the camera within 10 feet or so of the router and getting an error message re. checking network condition and the Network doesn't seem to even 'See' the camera as such and the Wireless LED is not lighting up. That's why I was wondering if the Wireless was faulty.
    thanks again

  • I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping and entering passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked using your fingerprint?

    I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping the screen and entering your passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked via fingerprint?  I liked the idea of having the extra security of a fingerprint sensor, but not if the phone can still be unlocked using only the passcode.  Then, what's the point of touch id?  Am I missing something here?

    What happens if the touch ID sensor gets broken?  It is a backup method to get in to your device.
    Consider editing your lock screen passcode, changing it from a simple 4 digit code, to a longer more complex password.

    Is there any way to turn off the download function in safari offline reading list?

    Don't think so.  The point of the offline reading list is to allow you to read it later without going online.  It has to download the content to make this possible.
