How to turn off Vodafone

In Hungary with iPhone5. Apartment has wifi. iPad connected no problem and uses wifi, I think. In the upper right hand corner it just says iPad. She ever I turn on the iPhone, service is automatically provided by Vodafone.

I have verizon in the USA. Went into settings, carrier and it states 'automatic ON'. I tried switching it to OFF and get 'unable to load network list'. When i press ok, it switches back to 'Automatic ON'. What does 'unable to load network list' mean? I also went into settings, general, cellular and turned it to OFF, and that stays that way.

When I go to settings, wifi, the wifi is listed and has a check mark next to it. Doesn't that mean I'm connected to it?

I just don't want to get some ridiculous Vodafone bill - haven't used the phone to call, but did look up a couple of Internet things. Now I'm afraid to even turn it on.

Help!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Hello Ebet1,

It sounds like you would only like to use Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5 while in Hungary. I recommend turning on airplane mode on your iPhone and then also enabling Wi-Fi. Your cellular service will be disabled while you have airplane mode turned on, but you can also turn on Wi-Fi for an Internet connection:
