A comment on “Just turn it off” and Airplane Mode. Parent comment
Back in the times of GSM/2g, and the fable 3310, roaming was EXPENSIVE on Europe.
So, before going to Spain, I would turn my Nokia off.
After returning to my country, and well inside the country away from any Spanish antenna, I would turn on the device.
And every time, I would get a SMS informing me of the roaming costs.
