Using wifi in Europe without local SIM card?

Hi,


I have an iPhone 6.


Can I use wifi in Europe without local SIM card and without incurring US roaming charges by keeping my phone on Airplane mode? Which setting should my phone be on?


Thanks a lot,


Raphael

Sure, anything that is just internet data should be fine over wifi. So any internet messaging service like iMessage, Whatsapp, Google Hangouts, etc should be fine. And any VOIP service should be fine - Skype, FaceTime, etc.
