Okay I am not all that tech savy. I am wondering what the best way of communicating with my family back here in states while I am in Mexico having surgery. I have an iPhone. I am wondering if as long as I have wifi will it be free to text my husband who also has iPhone. Or we both have a what's up app. I have a netbook but don't really wanna bring it unless its better to use it. If I just use my phone can I disable it to where people can't call me and rack up a huge phone bill. So what's the best way to stay in touch with home?

We have sprint and it sucked! I sent texts and people didn't get them until I crossed back over border. And then I got a gazillion texts that were waiting for me. I communicated online with my iPad and that was fine with my family.

Download Tango talk u can text, video chat, or just make phone calls it works off of wifi and its free

I have a iPhone and ipad so I have been able to talk to my kids and husband thru FaceTime and iMessage since they have iPods, iPads and iPhones.

What so I do in order to keep calls from coming in while I am in Mexico? Do I click the answer with a message to on in settings. I know my mom will be calling and I don't plan on her knowing I'm there until I get back.

I have kept mine in airplane mode. That way I don't use data or minutes. Plus I didn't tell anyone but my household so I don't want to take any calls till I get home lol. Just make sure after you put in airplane mode you activate wifi

I have Verizon and the iPhone 5. I've turned off my international roaming...

I see how to switch to airplane mode but how do you disable international roaming?
