I am traveling to Spain and I want to take my iPhone, but I have heard about high roaming fees/internet costs. Can anyone enlighten me?
Sign up for a temporary international plan from your wireless provider
turn off celluar data
Either get your phone officially unlocked BEFORE your trip, then use local sims, or put your phone in Airplane Mode, then go back into settings & turn WiFi back on.
Turning off cellular data is NOT a 100% sure fire way to preventy nasty surprises.
Thanks for the answer. Do you know if I can you still receive calls in airplane mode? How do I get my phone unlocked?

No. Airplane Mode turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on.

Contact your carrier to see if they offer official unlocking, some do, some don't.
If you want to receive/make calls, you need to either get a roaming plan from your carrier or get your phone officially unlocked.
Thanks so much!
how do i avoid high fees travelling overseas?
