And yes…I’m not sure that your carrier can charge your WiFi connection if Radio is of…it would be logical becouse you end all your relations to carrier when you turn on airplane mode…I hope….:D

I knew about this option and it’s very good because if you have your radio on and in some moment your WiFi brokes during surfing the iPhone connects automaticly to your carriers network internet and that can be very expencive in my opinion…

Very handy advice, thanks much; I’m going to the UK soon and wanted to turn off the phone capabilities and just use Wi-Fi (because AT&T charges an insane amount of roaming fees for data and calls in the UK). I wasn’t sure how to do it, and I assumed that airplane mode turned off all the radios (because that’s what you’re supposed to do… on airplanes… mostly, at least). Anyway, thanks for telling me how to do it! And @yoyoyo, I believe that you will not be charged for data when only using wifi, but I could be wrong.

just wanted to say thanks for posting this. despite all the peeps who think this was completely obvious, i’ve never had the need to figure out how to do this until today. it was great just to google it up and have instructions in 20 seconds. and i’ve had the iphone since Day 1, and still glad you posted.

mines jailbroken. And same as Ethan, I’m a heavy user and didn’t notice this. Of course I’ve only been in a plane twice in my life and the closest I get to “underground” is parking garages and 8 ft below sea level (new Orleans…and I know it wouldn’t mess with signal, just humor Daniel)

This is just stupid!

Tell me how to configure my iPhone so it can make me a cup of (un-jailbroken) Coffee in the morning instead. THAT whould be something to write about.
