How can I prevent massive charges whilst in USA

[amici-pat]

I have 2 pay monthly accounts with o2.

I will be spending 2 weeks in USA and want to avoid large bills on return.

Quite often I get phishing calls and or voice mails from various companies, and if I don't recognise the number I do not answer, but I assume I will be charged for receiving voice messages.   How can I stop this from happening?

I have also recently been receiving messages from 02 regarding downloading aps for making calls via wi-fi, not sure what this is about, but will I also incur charges for these?

For the first time ever, this month I have received a warning that I have used 80% of my data allowance, and cannot think what this would have been for.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

As @MI5 says, the sunset bars wifi is off line for development at the moment and I took the decission to call on normal call roaming  with the current security situation .

But also an update Incomming calls work via wifi on ios version 2.25.0.158 with ios9.1

Just shows what happens when you know how to work an iPhone...and the system... whilst in some faraway place. Well done matey. Please keep a diary you may need to write another guide...

I am assuming the phone is still on airplane mode?
That was the only way I could get any life out of Tugo on an iPhone.....

I used Tugo without any problems (iPhone 6) when I went to Florida earlier this year. I can't comment on incoming calls as the only one I received was when I wasn't in a wifi area but thanks to Tugo my mother was happy as she knew we'd arrived!
