Resolved Using iPhone abroad in Airplane Mode?

[sou1 so1di3r]

Im going over to America for a 2 week Holiday. And I'd love to take my iPhone 4 across, to be my iPod and camera.

If I stick it in Airplane mode, will that be enough to stop it using any data?

Also, does anyone have experience using it in airplane mode for extended time? Does it stay in Airplane mode untill I switch it back? Or does it switch out by itself?

Thanks in advance.

When I traveled to Italy for 2 weeks I put my iPhone in airplane mode and left it like that for 2 weeks. I was able to use it to snap hundreds of great pics and videos and also manually switching on wi-fi when at our hotel. It works great and you don't need to mess with any other settings such as turning off cellular data. If airplane mode is on, you are fine. And no it doesn't switch back by itself.

The cool thing about airplane mode too is that your iPhone will hold a charge significantly longer. Mine lasted almost a full week on 1 charge and that is with moderate to heavy use with Camera and a few games while travelling on the bus.

Have fun
