When we had Verizon we would, as mentioned, put the phones in airplane mode and turn wifi back on.That would kill the cell signal. We could then use the phone on wifi when in a wifi area. It worked ok but became a pain in the butt and when we needed new phones we switched to T-Moblie and now we take them off airplane mode right after landing. Perfect connectin to local cell service for texts and emails at zero cost. Calls away from wifi are 25 cents/minute. Two weeks use for two phones in France was a tad over $6.

Great perk from T-Mobile....no worries about not receiving important calls while on the road...and no daily or weekly add on fees ]. No special phones or chips needed...just use it like at home
