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

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 we turn off calls, text, & data but not wifi?

If we go to India and want to only use wifi to call with skype or similar service, can we we turn of incoming/outgoing calls & texts, as well as data on our Verizon Samsung Galaxy s5?
If we can, please advise simple and complete directions to turn off calls, texts, and data services while roaming so we will not be charged for any services while still being able to use wifi, and how to reverse that when we return to the us.
Thank you.

airplane mode doesn't disable wi-fi

Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

Can't turn off twitter text in iphone4s. Tried settings, notifications, twitter is not an app there. Also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none, and still won't turn off notification for twitter texts.

Can't turn off twitter text notifications. I tried settings, notifications, but the notification center doesn't have the twitter option. I also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none- for alert tones. This is still not turning it off. Twitter people said it's not their problem. Is anyone having this problem?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Turning off the text for a master data object

What happens if we turn off the texts for a master data object? (In RSA1, under info objects - double click on info object and go to Master data/texts tab and untick the 'with texts' box). Are there any risks in doing this? Has anyone performed this and run into any issues? Thanks

Hi,
There are no issues in turning off the texts, but if its an object that requires description in the report, say material, plant etc, then you won't have that available as the texts are disabled and not loaded.
Cheers,
Kedar

What is up with this and how does one turn off the text. Adobe Reader after scanning

Adobe Reader doesn't scan. Acrobat provides links to drivers that your scanner provides to let it appear Acrobat is doing the scanning. A scanner will make a picture of the page you are scanning. It cannot turn on or off text. If there is something you do not want scanned you can use the scanner driver to not scan that part of a page. You can also use Acrobat's Redaction tool to remove any text or picture from the scanned image.

HT4515 Does turning off group texting prevent my replies from going out to the mass?

I receive responses to group texts. How can i assure my responses do go to everyone else as well? Just turn off group texting?

Hi Auntie_Em4!
I have an article for you here that can hopefully help you understand group messaging a little further:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
Specifically, I believe this section of that article answers your question:
If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in seperate messaging threads.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

HT3577 How can I turn off the text editing feature on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.x - when my Mom taps the phone, it always brings up copy. It does not do this for me so I am assuming it is the way her disability forces her fingers to hit the screen.

My Mom has tremors and when she uses her iPhone and taps to select, the way she hits the keyboard causes the copy selection to appear. It is not an issue with her phone because it does not do this for me. I would like to shut off the double tap feature. I have already tried Settings/General/Accessibility/Home speed typing = slowest.

The editing menu doesn't come up when you double tap. It comes up when you press and hold. It can't be turned off.
