I am going to Brazil and would like to know what is the best way to use my iphone without coming home to a huge bill.
Does anyone know how Skype works?
iPhone call
Put it in airplane mode.Then just find a place with free wifi and use skype.
Go to skype.com and learn about pricing, etc. It's cheap.
AIRPLANE MODE shuts off the wireless antenna.. not just the phone calling feature....
But you can then turn Wifi back on.
However, Airplane also shuts off the GPS receiver.
The simplest way to stop ONLY the cellular radio is to remove the SIM card.

To learn about using Skype I made two separate accounts one on the Desktop (with a webcam) and the laptop. This was pre iDevices. Read the stuff on the skype site. Made the practice tests they suggested. Had one call the other using home wifi to connect both to the internet/skype. Had two photo in photo of myself, two different angles. Had to be careful with the mics and feedback, but it was good practice to learn how to use.
