Hi, I am in Peru for visiting my parents, and I would like to avoid any roaming charges, I talked with Koodo via schedule a call, and they told me to remove Easy Roaming from  my account and to turn off my Celular data what i did, but I see  at that my network connection is a local phone providor in Peru. I try to keep in Airplane mode but I need sometimes to connect my phone to a wifi to check my whatsapp message for work, but I never turn on my Celular data. So please I would like to make sure that no roaming fees will be charged, thank you so much for responding.

Wi-Fi will work when your phone is in Airplane mode. You may have to manually turn Wi-Fi on. Removing the SIM card from your phone is another option that will prevent roaming charges. Wi-Fi will work without a SIM card installed.

Airplane mode or data AND data roaming off will both work. Depending if you need your phone for receiving SMS, I would recommend airplane mode if not.
