I have some questions as I try and use my att phone in the Bahamas

 

1) I should set my phone to airplane mode so I only connect to wifi when it is available and that way I don't get charge "roaming fees"  ?  Yes.

 

2) Also, my imessenger and facetime will work and is Free as long as I'm calling other Iphones and only when I'm on Wifi ? Yes. WiFi calling will also work if you have it enabled.

 

3)   If I'm not connected to wifi and I want to make a call (roaming),  I can BUT will be charged a high rate so I need to keep it short ? Yes. Calls are $2-$3 per minute unless you get an international plan. If you do roam, make sure you turn data roaming off. Your phone will use data even if you aren’t if you let it. Data charges add up quickly.

With WiFi calling, you can call and text without roaming charges. If you want to use WiFi calling, make sure you enable it before you travel.

1) I should set my phone to airplane mode so I only connect to wifi when it is available and that way I don't get charge "roaming fees"  ?    Yes.  You can leave airplane mode on and turn WiFi back on.  

 

2) Also, my imessenger and facetime will work and is Free as long as I'm calling other Iphones and only when I'm on Wifi ? 

Same as 1.  

3)   If I'm not connected to wifi and I want to make a call (roaming),  I can BUT will be charged a high rate so I need to keep it short ?

Correct.  Roaming rates can be $3 a minute.  You should turn data roaming to OFF before turning cellular on as data roaming is very pricey.  You might consider adding day pass, which will only charge if used.  

Thank you for any assistance.
