Avoiding holiday charges

I'm off to Cyprus on Sunday and I've heard some stories of people getting huge bills with their Iphone when they come back their holidays. Anyone know if I just switch off data roaming and voicemail then that should avoid any bills apart from text and calls?

I switched off data roaming and voicemail when recently away and it worked for me.
