Have an Apple I 12 device. Live abroad and keep it on airplane mode. Why do I still get charged as if using it for calls?

I live abroad, don’t use my I Phone for calls. Keep it on airplane mode. I still am being charged as if I were in the U.S. I use WiFi for my emails & whattsApp.

Have a local phone and numer for local calls.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Please contact your Carrier and get the numbers for which the call was changed. You will understand that better.

There is no way of knowing on an iPhone when the iPhone was in Airplane mode and when it was disabled. Only a detailed bill will reveal the actual calls made through that iPhone.

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...

Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
Don't share Apple IDs
Don't Jailbreak
Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
Don't give in to Phishing
Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.

If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
