Turning off phone but not wifi while overseas...

i don't want to pay for bulk texts i receive while overseas for the weekend (40 cents a text with rogers canada)... so i turn my phone to airplane mode so i can use it as an ipod... problem is i can't use wifi... if i turn wifi on it turns the phone on and the texts will come flooding in...
other than taking out the sim card... is there a way to turn off the phone but still use all other functions?...

Personally I would take the SIM card out, as it's the easiest thing to do, as long as you don't lose it. Apart from Airplane mode, I don't think there is a way to disable the phone independently.

  • My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!

    1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
    2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

  • 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.

  • How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

    I have an iPhone 5S.  I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes.  I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone.  As such, I press the sleep button at the top.  No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked.  I find this *very* annoying.  Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting.  Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
    Thank you,
    Stuart

    "Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
    Best of luck.

  • Turn off delivery but not send function of emails

    Hi,
    I will be travelling, and I wanted to be able to turn off the delivery function of my emails to my blackberry so that data isn't used.  However, I would still like to be able to send emails.  How can I do this?
    Thanks!
    MJ

    You can't have one and not the other.
    What you need to do is to use your device ONLY when connectedd to a WiFi hotspot while traveling.
    Go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network, and disconnect  or UNcheck your Mobile Network.
    When you are at a WiFi hotspot and connect to that WiFi hot spot, your device will receive and send emails, and all other data via the WiFi connection.

  • When Facebook is open in browser; computer will turn off montiro but not sleep, hibernate, etc... multiple computers effected, same problem... just me?

    When one of my family members' leaves their facebook "feed" page open in firefox, the computer will not go to sleep, nor hibernate automatically. This effects multiple different computers running Windows 7 and Vista.
    I believe it has to do with the update-window scripting, though I do not know why the browser(?) is keeping the computer awake. Peculiar though because watching a movie in the browser allows automatic sleep.. Must just be scripting.
    Anyone have this issue or know of a "fix"?

    I have resolved the problem.
    I replaced the AC adapter. Everying works find now. I tested runing the computer without the battery, and it works. So I might add that a possible test for an adapter that is not functioning properly is to try running it w/out the battery. If it does not run its possible that the ac adapter does not work.
    Thanks.

    Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
    As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
    If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a ubs pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle.  And the phone no longer goes beyond this message.  meltdown

    My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent.  So I turned my iphone off.  My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle.  And the phone no longer goes beyond this message.  I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over.  If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ?  meltdown? Please help.

    Hello Raja,
    Thank you so much for your response.  I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested.  Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution.  Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded).  This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-)  Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s.  Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone.  Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received.  Thank you kindly.

  • My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

    Hi kamalkumar,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. 
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

    After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

    I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
    I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
    In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
    Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
    Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
    Hope this helps!
