Iphone geolocation in another country through GSM operator

Is it true if Ipone sends text message to nearest GSM operator when it has no connection to internet and locates abroad? Can anyone give me example of this massage or links wich describe that?

Hello @shev11419,


If you have an active SIM card in your phone, and you try to send a text message when not connected to Wi-Fi, it will send message out through the cellular network.  However, if you put the phone in Airplane mode, and then only enable Wi-Fi you will avoid this situation.
