Going on a cruise

[jeff2053]

I'm going on a cruise in Feb and want to be able to get on the internet when I am in port to check e-mail but I want to make sure that I don't get any text or voice messages. From what I understand there are plenty of places to get free wifi. Whats the best way to do this
thanks

Put your phone in airplane mode then turn on WiFi. No text or voicemail will come through.

You can also call Verizon. When I went to the Middle East I gave them my arrival and departure dates. I asked them to turn off voice calls, text messaging, and only allow 3G data. The airplane mode wifi also works if you can find I hotspot. I just didn't want to be at the whim of a hotspot I wanted to be able to get map data while I was out and about.
