Help with overseas!

[wirebitersmith]

May have been answered somewhere in here but I can't find it. Is there any way to use the original Driod strictly on wifi? I am currently overseas and don't want to buy a new phone or sign another contract. I would do a monthly mifi with the local company IF I can use this phone over the internet and get at least most of the functionality with it. Has anyone ever tried it or know of a way? Thanks!!

Can you turn airplane mode on and then turn wifi on as well? That might keep the 3g radio off but leave wifi on.

Just turn your wifi on...your 3g radio will still be on but you won't be able to send or recieve calls, except for emergency calls...I think. But you will be able to access the internet just turn your wifi sleep policy to "never", under advanced in wifi settings.
