iPhone Users- What is Airplane Mode?

First, Airplane Mode is located in the top left hand corner in the Settings. Turning this feature on disables all wireless features. This  allows you ability to still use the iPod feature of the phone.

With Airplane Mode on you can still: 

•  Listen to music
• Use apps not needing internet connection
• Read any messages that are stored in the phone

You cannot make phone calls, send text messages, or use the internet.
