I've just got a bolt on for using phone in Costa Rica @£6/day. Is there a way I can just take photos without incurring this daily charge?

Tuen on airplane mode, and only use WiFi when in range of a wireless network @Mills880. You can also disable roaming data, which will stop your phone trying to access local cellular data services, while leaving it able to receive texts and calls. Make sure your voicemail is deactivated, as calls to your phone going to Voicemail will trigger the charge. Guide: All you need to know about O2 Voicemail 901

Hope you get some great photos 👍
