Isn't airplane mode supposed to block outgoing phone calls?

I accidently dialed one of my contacts in my old iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.4.8), but it was in airplane mode. I thought airplane mode was supposed to block phone calls. Did I miss something?


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Doesn't airplane mode turn wifi off too? I didn't see wifi symbol on during it.


Yes, it does! But you can turn WiFi ON even though your iPhone is in Airplane Mode. Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support


Also, in Airplane Mode ON, if you had turned WiFi ON, then toggled Airplane Mode OFF-ON-OFF, the WiFi would not disconnect!
