I am travelling to Ireland for a business trip and plan to use SIP to stay in touch with work and family. My question is, if I keep my phone in Airplane mode and wifi on, does wifi sleep when the screen is off or does it always stay connected? I need to be able to receive calls reliably.
Got a tip for us?

Darn it! Thanks for the reply. I was trying to avoid getting prepaid but I guess I have no other option.
By default in Airplane Mode, wifi is turned off.
However, you CAN go into settings and turn wifi back on while Airplane Mode remains enabled.

I imagine you could just have something streaming in the background (on wifi) to keep the connection up
My apologies...A little too much Christmas cheer! 
I didn't fully read the question before I answered...
BUT, at least someone was enlightened that you CAN have Airplane Mode enabled and then re-connect WiFi!
